To Protest Chandrababu Naidu's Arrest, MLA Blows Whistle Inside Assembly

Nandamuri Balakrishna and 15 other TDP MLAs were suspended from the Andhra Pradesh assembly for one day yesterday for disrupting proceedings.

A day after his provocative gesture challenging Irrigation Minister A Rambabu to a confrontation raised a storm in the Andhra Pradesh assembly, Telugu Desam Party (TDP) MLA and actor Nandamuri Balakrishna pulled off yet another stunt.

Mr Balakrishna and 15 other TDP MLAs were suspended from the Andhra Pradesh assembly for one day yesterday for disrupting proceedings in protest of the arrest of their party's national president and former Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu in an alleged skill development scam.

Picking up where he left off, Mr Balakrishna continued his protest today by blowing a whistle inside the Andhra Pradesh assembly. As soon as the question hour began, TDP MLAs swarmed the Speaker's podium, surrounding Tammineni Sitaram.
