The main opposition Telugu Desam Party (TDP) also disrupted the proceedings, demanding that the government set up a steel factory near the Bayyaram iron ore mines in Khammam district of Telangana.
The speaker adjourned the house till tomorrow as the opposition legislators continued their protests near his podium after the house re-assembled following two adjournments.

As soon as the house met for the day, the speaker announced that he was rejecting the adjournment motions moved by TDP, TRS and other parties.
