For the third day in a row, opposition TDP MLAs have been suspended from the Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly on Wednesday as they stormed into the Well of the House when Chief Minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy was talking on the Polavaram multipurpose undertaking. “Call the Marshals in and send them (Telegu Desam Party members) out of the House,” the Chief Minister requested Speaker Tammineni Seetaram, because the opposition legislators rebutted the federal government’s claims on the undertaking.
“They do not want the governments voice carried to the people, so they are deliberately trying to disrupt the House proceedings. Call the Marshals and send them out,” he mentioned, following which Legislative Affairs Minister Buggana Rajendranath moved a movement for suspension of 9 TDP MLAs for the day. Immediately, the Marshals stepped in and whisked the opposition members out of the House.
In the lobbies, the TDP members confronted Chief Marshal Theo and demanded to know why the Marshals have been being “so rude” in direction of the legislators. “It never happened in the past.
Marshals used to gently try to evict the suspended members from the House and the latter too used to walk away after raising a protest for a couple of minutes,” senior legislator Payyavula Keshav identified. MLA Gottipati Ravikumar confirmed a bruise on his hand, which, he alleged, was because of the tough dealing with by the Marshals.
“You people seemed to have learnt martial arts, the Chief Marshal tried to counter, suggesting that the TDP members themselves manhandled the Marshals. Incidentally, the Assembly Speaker on Wednesday referred a complaint filed by the ruling YSR Congress members against their TDP colleagues, to the Assembly Ethics Committee.
The YSRC MLAs alleged that the TDP members manhandled the Marshals while being evicted after their suspension from the House on Tuesday. The Speaker said the attack on the Marshals was not right.
The TDP, on the otherhand, additionally determined to lodge a criticism with the Speaker towards the Marshals.
