The monsoon session of Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly began on a stormy note on Thursday as Telugu Desam Party MLAs staged a protest inside the House against the arrest of their party president N. Chandrababu Naidu in the skill development scam case. They demanded that the cases foisted on Mr. Naidu should be withdrawn.
Utter chaos prevailed as the TDP MLAs surrounded Speaker Thammineni Seetharam on his podium soon after the Question Hour commenced, and raised slogans against the alleged implication of Mr. Naidu in “false cases”.
Holding placards, the Opposition MLAs hurled pieces of paper towards the Speaker, who shouted against them, saying that it was a forum to discuss public issues and that the MLAs could not hold the House to ransom by their unruly conduct.
