these issues forcefully. The Lok Sabha was adjourned till noon
and the Rajya Sabha for 15 minutes and then till noon.
Soon after an obituary reference in the Lok Sabha, members
from different parties walked into the Well to raise their
demands.
TRS and some Congress members from Andhra Pradesh held
placards and raised slogans demanding formation of Telangana
state. The placards read, "Indecision causing innocent deaths"
and "Introduce Telangana Bill, Jai Telangana".
Some members also raised the Setusamudram issue and
demanded that the project be implemented.

conditions in the state.
