New Delhi: Lok Sabha was on Thursday adjourned for the day as TDP members from coastal Andhra and Rayalseema disrupted proceedings protesting against the announcement for a separate Telangana.
As the House met for Question Hour, TDP members opposed to division of Andhra Pradesh displayed placards which said, "We want united AP", and rushed to the Well raising slogans.
TDP members K Narayana Rao, M Venu Gopala Reddy, N Kristappa and N Sivaprasad continued shouting slogans even as Speaker Meira Kumar asked them not to display placards, saying the members should observe "sanctity" of the House.
However, the clear divide between members from Telangana and Andhra irrespective of party affiliations came out openly.
In the din, Ministers Mamata Banerjee and Dayanidhi Maran replied to a question each.
As repeated pleas by the Chair to TDP and BPF members to return to their seats and a promise that they would be heard during Zero Hour went unheeded, the House was first adjourned for 15 minutes.
