Suspended Telugu Desam MPs on a song

DC | 3 hours 18 min ago

Hyderabad: The suspended Telugu Desam MP, N. Sivaprasad, and others, resorted to a novel protest by singing political bhajans opposing bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh on the steps of the Parliament House in New Delhi, on Wednesday.

“Yendukamma ee padu vibhajana oh  Soniamma... 5 kotla mandi janam roadla mediki vacchinaru?” (Why is the wretched bifurcation Sonia amma... five crore people have spilled on to the  roads?).
 Sivaprasad, M. Venugopala Reddy, K. Narayana and Nimmala Kistappa sat on the steps of the Parliament House entrance and sang bhajans. They wore shirts with tags that read “Respect member not number” and “Save Andhra Pradesh.”

Speaking to the media, Narayana appealed to UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi to reconsider her decision on state bifurcation. “We have been suspended and necked out from the Parliament for airing Seemandhra voice. We have no option but to stage protests at Gate No. 1 of the Parliament.

The protests will continue all through the session,” Narayana added. The TD MPs demanded that the Centre stop bifurcation process and start T-talks afresh in view of the “unprecedented” protests across Seemandhra.

States: Andhra Pradesh
