Rayachoti YSRC MLA G Srikanth Reddy said took serious objection over ministers Somireddy Chandramohan Reddy and C Adinarayana Reddy entering the meeting hall at 11.24 am.
However, collector CH Harikiran, who entered the meeting hall 11 am, sought apology from members for coming late for the meeting by saying he was engaged with the state SC, ST commission Karem Shavaji. MLAs demanded the ZP Chairman to allocate maximum time for discussing drought conditions prevailed in the district.
Despite several appeals by ministers, the members did not relent and continued their protests saying violation of time discipline and protocol by the government. The situation went out of hands with Proddaturu YSRCP MLA Racha Mallu Siva Prasad Reddy straight away went to the dais and sitting on the chair against norms in protest inviting APCOB Chairman Gujjula Srinivasulu to the general body meeting.
