TDP begins 'Operation Target Jagan,' YSRCP stages walkout

* High drama in AP Assembly

* TDP tries to sidetrack debate on law and order
* YSRCP says speaker behaving in a partisan manner
* YSRCP MLAs stage dharna in front of assembly
* Democracy being murdered in the house, says Jagan

Saturday proved to be a day of high voltage drama and spirited fight back in the AP legislative assembly by the YSRCP on the issue of politically motivated murder of its cadres.
Upset over the TDP government's attempts to stiffle its voice, led by its chief YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, the YSRCP staged a walkout from the house and staged a dharna outside the assembly.
The YSRCP activists gagged themselves and staged a dharna in front of the Gandhi statue. They accused the TDP of trying to muzzle their voice and charged the speaker with backing the TDP.
Earlier, Jagan made a scathing attack on the ruling TDP and said the ruling party was trying to murder democracy even within the precincts of the august house. Jagan said that the Speaker was giving more opportunities for the ruling party members.
"When we wanted to raise the issue of the spate of murders of YSRCP activists post elections, the speaker gave an opportunity to TDP MLA G Butchaiah Chowdary to speak innuendo and peddle misinformation." 
YSRCP MLA Chevi Reddy Bhaskar Reddy said that the speaker did not give an opportunity to the YSRCongress legislature party
leader to explain why his party was staging a walkout.
"This is black day and the ruling party was making wild allegations against YS Jagan in contravention of all rules," he said.
Ruling party leaders Butchaiah Chowdary and finance minsiter Yanamala Ramakrishnudu tried to target YS Jagan and this caused repeated disruptions in the house.

YSRCP tried to raise the issue of its workers being killed and attacked in various part of the state after the elections. The party said that at least 14 of its workers were brutally done to death and several more were attacked and their assets damaged.
