Hyderabad:The issue of the “political murders” rocked the first day of the first Budget Session of Andhra Pradesh on Monday. The House was adjourned without any business transaction as the Opposition YSRC insisted on a discussion on deteriorating law-and- order situation but Speaker Kodela Sivaprasada Rao did not allow it.
YSRC president Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy said 11 people had been killed and 119 were injured in the state in the last three months after the TD had come to power. But, no serious action has been taken.
The Speaker said the government was willing to take up discussion on it, but only if it was moved in the House in an appropriate form, and not through an adjournment motion. Unrelenting, the YSRC members rushed to the Well of the House raising slogans.
They alleged that party MLA Mustafa and party leader Ambati Rambabu had been attacked by TD cadres in the Speaker’s Assembly constituency. After adjourning the House twice between 9 am and 11.15 am, the Speaker finally adjourned the House for the day, noting that all the questions were postponed and the papers were deemed to have been laid.
