Hyderabad, Mar 8 (UNI) Telugu Desam Party (TDP) legislators today staged a dharna in front of Assembly Speaker K R Suresh Reddy's chamber, protesting against their suspension from the House.

After being suspended from the House for two days for disrupting the proceedings, the legislators sat in front of the Speaker's chamber and raised slogans against the Andhra Pradesh Government.

Later, TDP President N Chandrababu Naidu said the government was not allowing the opposition to raise any issue in the assembly on the alleged irrregularities and corruption.

There was rampant corruption and irregularities in the implementation of irrigation projects, he charged.
