Hyderabad: The opposition parties on the first day of the Telangana Assembly budget session on Saturday vied with each to highlight “failures” of the TRS government in delivering on its poll-eve promises. While the TRS legislators arrived the Assembly in two groups after paying tributes at Telangana Martyr memorial at Gun Park, the opposition members holding placards and shouting slogans entered the premises. In contrast, Telangana Congress and AIMIM legislators kept themselves away from protests.
A group led by Minister for Irrigation T Harish Rao arrived first at the Assembly. He was accompanied by Finance Minister E Rajendar, Chief whip K Eswar and MLAs. Later Panchayat Raj Minister K T Rama Rao, accompanied by Deputy Chief Minister Mahmood Ali, Housing Minister A Indrakaran Reddy, Home Minister N Narasimha Reddy and MLAs, including Teegala Krishna Reddy, elected on the TDP ticket from Maheswaram constituency and joined TRS recently.
The TDP members, led by party floor leader E Dayakar Rao, attired in yellow dress, entered the Assembly by shouting slogans against Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao. They were demanding action against the “turncoats,” who switched loyalties to the TRS from TDP.
Sporting saffron colour scarves, the BJP leaders demanded that forcible collection of property tax in the Greater Hyderabad limits be stopped. The BJP Telangana unit president G Kishna Reddy raised slogans against against KCR’s government. The CPI-MLAs – S Rajaiah and R Ravindra Kumar - were seen carrying placards demanding that the government take measures to ensure that farmers do not commit suicide.
