Andhra Pradesh Assembly could not transact any business for the fourth consecutive day today as the vociferous Opposition Telugu Desam Party (TDP) members demanded the resignation of six Cabinet Ministers as the Supreme Court had ordered to issue notices to them in the alleged disproportionate case of YSR Congress Party President Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy. As soon as the house assembled for the day, the TDP members rushed to podium and raised slogans that the ministers should be sacked if they failed to resign from their posts. Speaker Nadendla Manohar urged the agitating members to allow for taking up the question hour.
He also said the debate on power situation in the state should be continued and asked the members to raise the issue in question hour or zero hour. However, the TDP members demanded that the files related to the controversial 26 GOs, which was released during the late Y S Rajasekhara Reddy government, be placed before the speaker. As the noisy scences continued, the speaker adjourned the house for 15 minutes at 0909 hours. Earlier, Mr Manohar disallowed the adjournment motions given by CPI on payment of compensation to the fire accident victims at Nagole and Gundla Pochampalli and the CPI (M) on the allotment of Iron Ore Mines to Visakhapatnam Steel plant. When the House re-assembled at 1002 hours, the Speaker asked the legislative affairs Minister D Sridhar Babu to speak.
The Minister appealed to the members to cooperate as issues releated to agriculture, power and drought had to be discussed. Mr Manohar again appealed to the TDP members who were at the well, and announced that all the questions listed for the day had been postponed. As the noisy scences continued, the Speaker adjourned the House for 30 minutes at 10004 hrs.
