Members of the opposition Telangana Rashtra Samiti(TRS) today staged a walkout from the Andhra Pradesh Assembly, protesting the State Government’s failure to stop Maharashtra from going ahead with Babli and other barrages.
Dissatisfied with Major Irrigation Minister P Lakshmaiah’s reply on the steps taken by the Government in protecting the state’s interest on riparian issues with Maharashtra and Karnataka, TRS floor leader E Rajender led his party colleagues out of the House during Question Hour.
The TRS assailed the ruling Congress for not ensuring release of at least five to 10 TMC of Godavari waters to meet the drinking water shortage in drought-hit Telangana region.
Meanwhile, TDP legislator D Umamaheswara Rao rushed to the well of the House and disrupted the proceedings for some time, alleging that the Congress government was unable to protect the state’s interest as the Chief Minister’s family members were involved in the construction of a hydel power project across Krishna in Karnataka.
The TDP member returned to his seat only after Speaker N Kirankumar Reddy threatened to suspend him.Legislative Affairs Minister K Rosaiah assured the House that the Government would lead an all-party delegation to New Delhi after receiving an appointment from Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
