Is the Congress ready to crack the whip against its Telangana legislators if they continue to stall the proceedings in the Assembly?
Though the Government Chief Whip Bhatti Vikramarka asserted, for the first time, that no one will be spared, it is doubtful whether the government can afford taking disciplinary action, given the fluid political situation prevailing in Telangana.
Initially, the trouble in the Assembly was only from Telangana Rashtra Samithi and Telangana TDP legislators. However, emboldened by the ruckus created by their MPs in the Lok Sabha over Telangana issue, the Congress legislators joined the TRS and TDP members in obstructing the business in the House.
With the Assembly being unable to transact any business ever since the budget session commenced a week ago, a sense of frustration is creeping into the Government circle. The House was adjourned for the seventh consecutive day on Saturday without conducting any of the listed business amidst uproar by Telangana legislators demanding a resolution on Telangana.
"From Monday, we will crack the whip against any member who disrupts the House. It is unfortunate that we have not been able to discuss any of the public issues," the Chief Whip said.
Even the Deputy Speaker Nadendla Manohar, who usually maintains composure, lost his cool on Saturday in the face of furore by Telangana MLAs and expressed serious displeasure over the happenings in the House. “It is depressing coming everyday (to the House) and not being able to function. The people will not pardon us,” Manohar lamented.
