(ML) members walked out of the Andhra Pradesh legislative
assembly today protesting government's ‘refusal’ to pay
ex-gratia to family members of the farmers, who had committed
suicide.
The assembly witnessed acrimonius scenes with ruling TDP
accusing Congress of resorting to vandalism and unruly
behaviour after being suspended on Saturday, while the
opposition charged the state government with disrupting their
peaceful dharna only to divert the topic of ex-gratia to
farmers.
Pushing aside the day's agenda, the house witnessed
uproarious scenes with Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu and
opposition leader Dr Y S Rajsekhar Reddy trading charges.
Treasury bench members said congress members had created a havoc in the assembly premises by breaking window panes, flower pots and other property after being suspended and tried to barge into the chief minister's chamber.
