11 AP MLAs suspended for disruption
Hyderabad: Eleven MLAs were suspended from the Andhra Pradesh Assembly today when they tried to disrupt the Budget speech of Finance Minister Aanam Ramanarayana Reddy.
Six TRS, four CPI and one BJP member were suspended when they tried to block the Finance Minister's budget speech by raising the Telangana issue.
The TRS members tried to snatch the budget copy as the Minister began his address at 11.43 am. Labour Minister Danam Nagender foiled the TRS attempt even as the Assembly marshals, present in good strength, overpowered the unruly members.
Housing Minister Kanna Lakshmi Narayana moved a motion for the TRS MLAs' suspension, which was carried by voice vote.
Later, as the Finance Minister resumed his address, the CPI and BJP members stormed the Speaker's podium raising slogans on Telangana.
After a while, they rushed towards the Finance Minister but marshals prevented them.
The Housing Minister then moved a motion for suspension of four CPI and one BJP member for the day. As the motion was carried, the suspended members walked out of the House.
Meanwhile, standing at their seats, the TDP members constantly raised slogans on price rise and other issues but the Finance Minister went about his budget presentation.
