Stalemate in AP assembly, TD MLAs suspended on third consecutive day

VIJAYAWADA: Stalemate and suspensions continued in the AP Assembly as Opposition Telugu Desam restarted its protests by saying Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy misled the house in the issue of the Jangareddygudem deaths. Finance minister Rajendranath Reddy objected to the “rude” behaviour of TD MLAs and said the Opposition was bent on stalling the assembly by creating ruckus every day. Agriculture minister Kurasala Kannababu alleged that Chandrababu Naidu and TD legislators were doing “corpse politics” by portraying ordinary deaths into hooch-related deaths. “Nearly 30 people died due to Naidu’s faults related to the Godavari Pushkaram but Naidu never tried to even condole those families.” Deputy chief minister Narayana Swamy objected to the continuous ruckus by TD, starting from the day of the Governor’s speech, and said he will expose the “drama” of the TD on the Jangareddygudem deaths.
