Sampath Kumar Stages Walkout From T Assembly

SC ST Sub-Plan Committe member and Congress Whip in Telangnaa Assembly Sampath Kumar on Monday staged a walkout for not being given an opportunity to speak on the Appropriation Bill.

He said the party seniors have assured that he would be given an opportunity to speak. But, though the session was coming to an end, he did not get an opportunity. Finding that his party was not supporting his demand, he staged a walkout.

Later speaking at the CLP meeting, Sampath Kumar criticised the senior members of the party for not backing him. He said the seniors remained silent on the issue. He said though the TRS was harassing the Congress, yet the seniors were silent on the issue. Even Komatireddy Venkata Reddy said that the Congress could not attack the ruling TRS in the way it could.

Both Jana Reddy and Uttam Kumar Reddy said they would ensure that such things do not recur in the house.
