AP: 12 TRS MLAs suspended from House
Hyderabad, Apr 9: Twelve members of the Opposition Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) were today suspended from Andhra Pradesh Assembly for stalling the proceedings of the House.
When the House reassembled after a brief adjournment, Speaker K R Suresh Reddy named the TRS members who continued to plunge the House into pandemonium demanding more Krishna water for flurosis-hit Nalgonda district in the Telangana region.
Following this, Legislative Affairs Minister K Rosaiah moved the motion for their suspension which was adopted by a voice vote.
The TRS members, staging a sit-in in the Well of the House were bodily lifted by the marshals. Earlier, the Speaker and Mr Rosaiah appealed to the members to make use of the time allotted for their party during the debate for motion of thanks to the Governor for his address to put forth their views.
However, the members showed placards and raised slogans against the government for alleged injustice in the allotment of the Krishna water for Telangana region, forcing the Speaker to name the members.
