Andhra Pradesh Assembly Speaker Dr. Kodela Shivaprasada Rao has suspended 8 MLAs of the YSR Congress party for 3 days from the house for disrupting the house proceedings. They are Chevireddy Bhaskar Reddy, Kodali Nani, Sridhar Reddy, Srikanth Reddy, Ramakrishna Reddy, Mutyala Reddy, Jaggi Reddy and Chand Pasha.

They have rushed to the Speaker’s podium, after he cuts the mike when their leader Jagan Mohan Reddy was speaking about Crop loans and Dwakra loans in the house. Speaker asked him to conclude his speech in the given 10 minutes, but when he is continuing his speech even after ten minutes, Speaker cuts his mike. It led to heated arguments between him and the YSRCP MLAs. Speaker Kodela has adjourned the house for 10 minutes. Later, he suspended the 8 MLAs who are disrupting the house proceedings. Then their leader Jagan Mohan Reddy also walked out of the house protesting his decision.

Kodali Nani said they speak nothing wrong against the Speaker except shouting ‘down down’ slogans against him in protest. He asked why the Speaker is not allowing them to speak in the house and why is he letting the TDP MLAs speak freely whenever they wants. Agriculture Minister Prattipati Pulla Rao replied that if the opposition party members are using abusive language they can’t be allowed to do so.
