BJP MLAs Suspended For Entire Budget Session
The MLAs started obstructing the budget speech of Finance Minister T Harish Rao as soon as he began, and continued the ruckus despite warnings.
Hyderabad | 7th March 2022
Speaker Pocharam Srinivas Reddy today suspended all the three BJP MLAs - Eatala Rajender, M Raghunandan Rao and T Raja Singh - from the Assembly for the entire budget session.
The suspension came as a rude shock for the saffron party MLAs.
The MLAs started obstructing the budget speech of Finance Minister T Harish Rao as soon as the latter began to deliver it on the first day of the session.
The trio also tore up the budget copies, and later also staged a protest in the House protesting the decision of the state government to cancel the address of the Governor.
Speaker Reddy repeatedly asked the three MLAs to stop their protests and resume their seats, but the trio were unrelenting.
Animal Husbandry Minister Talasani Srinivas Yadav then introduced a motion in the House urging the Speaker to suspend the three MLAs for the entire budget session.
The Speaker put the motion to vote, and it was passed by a voice vote of the majority members of the House.
The Speaker then announced that the three members were suspended from the House for the entire budget session.
