AMARAVATI, JAN 22
On the third day of Assembly sessions, Andhra Pradesh Assembly Speaker Tammineni Sitaram lashed out at Telugu Desam Party MLAs for creating chaos.
Tammineni Sitaram said that TDP MLAs are violating the House rules by reaching the Speaker’s podium. He asked the TDP MLAs to give the respect and questioned TDP MLAs whether they will beat him? He said that he will allow everyone to express their opinions. TDP MLAs raised the slogans of Jai Amaravati.
The Speaker said that he has come from a weaker section but I am not weak. He further recommended the ethics committee to review the behaviour of TDP MLAs and submit a report with recommended action to be taken.
“Even after repeated orders to calm down, TDP MLAs continued with their chaos at the Speaker podium. I clearly said that time will be given for them to speak but they refused to calm down. I have called marshals into the assembly hall just to make them sit in their space. They have come to the session to do chaos and create a disturbance. It is pathetic to see them commenting on me for hailing from backward caste as a speaker and also treating the Chief Minister and Ministers in the most disrespectful way. I am from the weaker section but I am not weak. Such kind of behaviour from TDP MLAs will not be tolerated and it should not be repeated. There are certain rules to be followed in the assembly and it is for every member.” said the speaker.
