The opposition TDP on Tuesday blocked the tabling of the AP Decentralisation and Inclusive Development of All Regions Bill, 2020 in the Legislative Council (LC) citing rules.
The House was adjourned thrice as pandemonium prevailed over the rule position and ministers trooped into the Well asking the Chairman of the Upper House to take up the Bill on priority.
The TDP, which is in a majority in the 58-member Council, gave a notice under Rule 71 and moved a motion "disapproving the policy of the government."
Senior minister Botsa Satyanarayana asked the Chairman not to use the Council for "political business."
Deputy Chief Minister Pilli Subhash Chandra Bose said, "We are pleading with you to reconsider the decision. This is not government policy, but a Bill."
