Three members of the opposition Telugu Desam Party were suspended from the Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly Tuesday on the charge of obstructing the proceedings of the House. The three, K Atchannaidu, Gorantla Butchaiah Chowdary and Nimmala Ramanaidu, who are deputy leaders of TDP in the assembly, have been suspended from the House for the rest of the Budget session.

During the Question Hour, the three leaders insisted the YSR Congress to honour its election promise to provide pension to all women belonging to the BCs, SCs, STs and minorities above the age of 45. They accused the ruling party of reneging on its promise.

However, Chief Minister Y.S Jaganmohan Reddy clarified that "the party manifesto clearly states YSR Cheyutha scheme has been introduced for the benefit of such women in place of the pension scheme promised earlier. Therefore, the TDP leaders are deliberately creating a ruckus to stall important bills.”
