New Delhi: Vociferous protests by members of NDA ally Telugu Desam Party today forced brief adjournment of Lok Sabha proceedings as they demanded special facilities for Andhra Pradesh. The YSR Congress also joined the protests in the Well of the House and raised slogans despite repeated requests by Speaker Sumitra Mahajan urging them to go back to their seats.

With the agitated members continuing their protests during Question Hour, the proceedings were adjourned for ten minutes till 1120 hours. Earlier this week, TDP vowed to continue to press the Centre for various allocations to Andhra Pradesh.
