Congress, BRS members spar over TGSRTC issues in Telangana Assembly

New Indian Express  

HYDERABAD: Heated exchanges took place between the ruling Congress and the Opposition BRS in the Telangana Assembly on Wednesday on issues related to the State Road Transport Corporation. Trouble started when BRS MLA T Harish Rao wanted a specific date for the merger of RTC employees into government service. When the Speaker allowed CPI MLA K Sambasiva Rao to speak on the issue, BRS MLAs raised objection, contending that he was not among the members who raised the question. Stating that Harish Rao served as a minister thrice since 2004, the chief minister said that it was not appropriate for him to point fingers at the Speaker for allowing the CPI MLA to speak.
