While Kharge was speaking on the Motion of Thanks on the President's Address, the TDP members, along with those from YSR Congress Party, were in the Well demanding special package from Andhra Pradesh and protesting that there was no mention of it in the Union Budget.
Although Kharge continued his speech amid the din, a TDP MP came and stood right in front of his desk-- thereby blocking Kharge's sight with the Speaker's chair.
A stunned Kharge could not retort, but another TDP MP Jayadev Galla was seen trying to calm down his colleague.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi was in the House when Kharge was speaking.
As Kharge finished his speech, UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi was also seen talking to the TDP MP.
