3 TDP MLAs Suspended From Assembly

Three Telugu Desam Party MLAs have been suspended from the Assembly for the ongoing budget session. Atchannaidu, Nimmala Ramanaidu and Gorantla Butchaiah Chowdary have been suspended under the sub-rule 2 of Rule 340 by Deputy Speaker Kona Raghupathi who was chairing the house in the absence of Speaker Tammineni Sitaram. Finance Minister Buggana Rajendranath had proposed for the suspension of the three MLAs for proper functioning of the house and to keep the house in the order.

It all began during question hour when TDP MLA Nimmala Ramanaidu had demanded the ruling party to clarify on its electoral promise to grant pension to SC, ST, BC women starting from 45 years of age. 

Responding to this, Panchayat Raj Minister Peddireddi Ramachandra Reddy had clarified that such promise was not made by YCP and confirmed that their party manifesto also didn’t had such promise. During this, CM Jagan had intervened and played a video of his speech during elections.
