Violent protests flare in Assembly

House adjournment for the second day

The State Assembly on the successive second day adjourned as there was no let up in TRS efforts to stall the proceedings even as the protesters set fire to buses in Hyderabad and Sangareddy.Shifting their protest action from inside the house to outside, nearly 16 MLAs led by the floor leader G Vijayarama Rao staged a rasta rokho opposite the assembly premises. Nearly after an half an hour, the police took them into custody and later let them free.

Earlier, the Speaker KR Suresh Reddy announced that he disallowed the adjournment motion on passing a resolution in favour of separate statehood for the region. TRS members displayed placards, raised slogans and rushed to the podium. The speaker adjourned the house for ten minutes and later after the house reassembled, he found no difference in the situation. As TRS members were in no mood to relent, the speaker has left with no alternative but to adjourn the house for the day.

The agitators of TRS set ablaze a private bus in Sangareddy and in Karimnagar while activities of Congress party staged a dharna at the bus terminus against TRS leader K Chandrasekhara Rao and mock funeral procession of the two leaders. In the capital, the agitators broke window pans of a bus and tried to set it on fire at Jubliee Hills which was prevented by police.
