Hyderabad, August 24: Andhra Pradesh Assembly was adjourned for a while when members of the main Opposition Telugu Desam Party (TDP) stormed into the Well of the House protesting against diversion of Central Funds granted under Indira Awas Yojana(IAY) and alleged largescale irregularities in the implementation of the INDIRAMMA programmes.
Even as the Chief Minister Y S Rajasekahra Reddy, intervening during Question Hour, maintained that there was no diversion of IAY funds, leader of the Opposition N Chandrababu Naidu demanded constitution of a House Committee to look into alleged misappropriation of Central Funds and alleged gross irregularities in implementation of INDIRAMMA programmes. As the Chief Minister brushed aside the TDP’s demand, agitated TDP members rushed towards the Speakers podium.
When repeated appeales to the TDP members to go back to their seats fell on deaf ear, Speaker N Kirankumar Reddy adjourned the House for 15 minutes.
