Congress stages walkout in TS Assembly

The Hindu  

The Congress on Monday staged a walkout in Telangana Assembly protesting against the failure of Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao to keep his promise to lead an all-party delegation to New Delhi to mount pressure on the Central Government against the merger of seven mandals in Khammam district with Andhra Pradesh. Leading the walkout during question hour, senior Congress leader G. Chinna Reddy also criticised the Government for dragging the name of former Union Minister Jairam Ramesh into the controversy over merger though the latter had nothing to do with it as he headed the Ministry of Rural Development while the issue related to the Ministry of Home Affairs. He also criticised Legislative Affairs Minister T. Harish Rao for steering the debate into bifurcation of the State while the Congress raised a specific question on the steps taken by the State Government to get its share of power from Lower Sileru project which was part of seven mandals. Blaming Puvvada Ajya Kumar The heated debate preceding the walkout spilled over into the next question as Mr. Harish Rao blamed the Congress MLA Puvvada Ajay Kumar who raised the issue for lacking understanding and subject knowledge about Sileru when the party members were not present in the hall.
