Hyderabad: Congress legislators walked out of the Telangana Assembly on Monday after their repeated attempts to raise some issues were ignored by the chair. The Finance Minister had begun to read out the budget, when the Congress MLAs led by Bhatti Vikramarka sprang to their feet and were heard arguing with the chair. As din prevailed in the House, their arguments could not be heard, and an MLA Sreedhar Babu was heard stating that the Congress was walking out as they were not being allowed to speak.

Later speaking to mediapersons, Vikramarka and others complained that they were trying to raise a point of order but were not given a chance to speak. “This amounted to stifling our voice and we will raise the issue with people” they said. The MLAs also complained that neither the chair nor the leader of the House cared about their objections.
