Hyderabad: The Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly was adjourned on Monday without transacting any real business after main Opposition YSR Congress members stalled the proceedings demanding debate on alleged poor law and order situation in the state.
As soon as the House met for the day, the first day of the Assembly's budget session after the bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh, the YSR Congress members moved an adjournment motion seeking a debate on the allegedly "failing" law and order situation. Speaker Kodela Sivaprasada Rao, who rejected the adjournment motion, asked them to seek debate on the issue later in a different form. The Speaker said that the issue did not deserve to be taken up as an adjournment motion. The opposition members had alleged that eleven of their party members were killed in the last two months.
Protesting against this decision of the Speaker, the YSRCP members trooped into the well holding placards like “political murders should come to an end” and raised slogans. The Speaker pulled them up for bringing placards and raising slogans. As the members persisted with their sloganeering, the Speaker initially adjourned the House for 15 minutes.
The same scenes continued after the House re-assembled with the YSR Congress members moving into the Well again. The TDP members demanded that the House take up question hour. Minister for Sports K Atchannaidu said it was painful that "those who encouraged political violence in the state were now talking about such a thing."
This led to another round of protest from the opposition members. The ruckus was so high and loud that the YSRCP members did not even allow their leader Jaganmohan Reddy to make a mention on the issue though the Speaker had allowed him.
Deputy Chief Minister KE Krishna Murthy alleged that the YSR Congress members were not interested in discussing issues related to the people like the problems being faced by the farmers or other developmental programmes the government wanted to take up. He alleged that trying to stall the proceedings was only to gain some political mileage and that the government would not be cowed down by such blackmail tactics. As the Opposition members pressed with their demand, the Speaker adjourned the House again for 15 minutes and as the situation showed no improvement, the Speaker then adjourned the House for the day, noting that all the questions are postponed and the papers deemed to have been laid.
