As many as 25 members of security staff, including those of the
governor and the Assembly speaker, acted as “keepers” and “fielders” on
the first day of the budget session to ward off any paper balls, paper
rockets and torn copies of governor’s speech from hitting him.
As expected, the day was marked by chaos as opposition members disrupted governor ESL Narasimhan’s address to the joint session of Assembly and Council by raising Jai Telangana slogans and throwing paper missiles at him.
As soon as the governor began his address at 9.30 am on Wednesday, TRS MLAs tore the copies of the address and threw the pieces at him.
To protect the governor, the security personnel continuously raised their hands to hit back the paper products of the TRS. Around 10 securitymen including governor’s two personal securitymen stood formed an inner circle around the podium.
Another 15 personnel formed an outer ring. Besides them, around 50 marshals were positioned in the House.
The speaker, who sat on the left side of the governor, also raised his hands occasionally to deflect the paper balls directed at the governor.
They all made a good job of it since none of the missiles hit the target during the governor’s half-an-hour speech.
One paper missile thrown by a TRS MLA was so forceful that it knocked off the cap of a securityman. The securityman’s alertness did not waver a wee bit and he retrieved his cap from the ground only after the governor concluded his speech at 9.37 am.
The Opposition MLAs came well prepared for the governor’s speech. They began arriving at the Old Assembly Hall by 9 am. Some TRS MLAs tore the two bulletin copies and rolled them into balls. When the governor began his address, they hurled the paper missiles on him.
While TRS members shouted Jai Telangana and Governor Go Back while TDP members, holding placards, tried to barge into the podium demanding nine-hour power supply to the farm sector and opposing proposal to hike power tariff.
CPI leader Gunda Mallesh and some TRS MLAs stood on the seats. YSRCP and some independent MLAs and MLCs too shouted slogans.
TDP and Left members walked out of the Hall even before the governor was half way through his speech.
