The Andhra Pradesh Assembly was adjourned for a while today when members of the main Opposition Telugu Desam Party (TDP) stormed into the Well of the House to protest diversion of Central funds granted under Indira Awas Yojana (IAY) and alleged largescale irregularities in the implementation of the INDIRAMMA programmes.
Even as 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 party 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.
