AP state assembly adjourns amidst thwarts

Hyderabad: Amidst actions and counter actions during the discussions in the state assembly over Telangana draft bill, the house was adjourned till Saturday. There was a tussle between the Congress, Telugu Desam Party and TRS MLAs on Friday inside the assembly hall.

The speaker of the state assembly, Nadendla Manohar allotted five minutes time to each of the members to give their opinions on the bill. The congress party MLAs blamed TDP during the debate. The fuming Seemandhra TDP MLAs rushed into speaker’s well and held protest. Ultimately they sought permission to speak over their allegations. The vexed speaker gave them time to speak.

This opportunity was utilized by Muddukrishnama Naidu of TDP and condemned the statements of Sunita Lakshma Reddy. He asked why the statement given by Chidambaram on December 9, 2009 was taken back. He also asked why the promises made during 2004 elections in manifesto were not implemented till 2009. He even asked what Srikrishna committee was meant for. He said allotting 2-3 minutes for each member is not at all justified. He said the state assembly should pass an unanimous resolution seeking more 30 days time for the ongoing discussions from president. The MLAs who addressed the house gave their opinions on the Telangana draft bill.
