The first session of the third Telangana Legislative Assembly is likely to sit for three more days.
Pro-tem Speaker Akbaruddin Owaisi administered oath to members in the new Assembly on Saturday. A majority of the members led by Leader of the House A. Revanth Reddy took oath as members on Saturday morning. Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) president and Gajwel MLA K. Chandrasekhar Rao did not attend the first session as he is undergoing treatment in a private hospital after suffering hip bone fracture a couple of days ago.
His son and BRS working president K.T. Rama Rao was among the close to 15 members who did not take oath on the first day. The BJP legislators boycotted the proceedings in protest against nomination of Mr. Akbaruddin as Pro-tem Speaker. The Pro-tem Speaker adjourned the House till Thursday.
