The monsoon session of the Telangana Legislative Assembly opened on September 7 amid heated scenes as opposition BJP members disrupted proceedings to protest alleged improprieties in government land dealings.
BJP legislators marched into the Well of the House, raising slogans and demanding a comprehensive judicial inquiry into the property transactions. The protest brought parliamentary proceedings to a standstill, forcing Speaker to adjourn the House for 14 minutes to restore order.
The land deals, which remain a contentious issue in the state legislature, have drawn criticism from the opposition, who have consistently called for transparency and accountability in government property transactions. The disruption marked a rocky start to the assembly session.
The monsoon session is expected to see continued discussions on the matter, with both government and opposition lawmakers staking claims over the proper handling of public land affairs. Speaker's intervention sought to manage the volatile proceedings while maintaining decorum in the chamber.
