Hyderabad: Telangana MLAs, especially those belonging to TRS, are furious over the disruption caused by Seemandhra MLAs in the Assembly, thereby stalling a discussion on the AP Reorganisation Bill.
The TRS MLAs, led by Etela Rajender and T. Harish Rao, met Speaker Nadendla Manohar in the Assembly and expressed their strong resentment over the conduct of Seemandhra MLAs. They sought suspension of the offending members from the House.
Meanwhile, Telangana Telugu Desam MLAs said that there was no need to wait till January 23 to complete the discussion on Telangana Bill in the Assembly, and that it should be wrapped up in few days if trouble continues.
“If the Bill is not allowed to be discussed, the option is to consider it discussed and proceed with sending it to the President,”?Telangana Telugu Desam Forum convener said E. Dayakar Rao said.
TRS MLAs have appealed to the Speaker to ensure smooth conduct of the House, take up discussion on the Telangana Bill and suspend MLAs who tried to obstruct the proceedings. “The Speaker should be unbiased,”?they said.
Rajender said the Congress, which had Telangana in its election manifesto, should ask its Seemandhra MLAs to honour their commitment and allow the debate. “By stalling the Assembly, they will become sinners in history,”?Rajender added.
Dayakar Rao and M Narasimhulu, TD MLA sought immediate intervention of Centre to ensure smooth passage of the Telangana Bill. Rao accused both Chief Minister and Speaker of doing little to ensure smooth conduct of the House.
"There is also a need to discuss the role of Chief Minister. CM has scant respect for constitution," he said.
