TDP MLAs on dharna in Andhra

Opposition TDP legislators held a night-long sit-in to press their demand for increasing the Minimum Support Price (MSP) for paddy.

Amidst high drama, 32 TDP MLAs, including party President N Chandrababu Naidu, virtually laid siege to the House, staging demonstration near the Speaker's podium even after it was adjourned on Monday night.

Refusing to leave the premises, the combative Opposition members continued their protest and spent the entire night in the inner lobby of the Assembly.
Naidu and his colleagues slept on the floor and were preparing to corner the Congress government on the MSP issue as soon the House assembles today, the last day of the 10-day winter session.

Despite repeated appeals by Speaker K R Suresh Reddy to vacate the premises, the slogan-shouting TDP legislators continued their sit-in near the podium and later in the night moved to inner lobby where they had dinner together.
