Amaravati, Mar 7 (PTI) The Budget session of the Andhra Pradesh Legislature got off to a noisy start here on Monday as the opposition Telugu Desam Party (TDP) members raised slogans and disrupted Governor Biswa Bhusan Harichandan’s customary address to the joint sitting of the two Houses.

Storming into the Well of the House, the TDP legislators tore the Governor’s speech copies and flung them in the air, but Harichandan went ahead with his address.

The TDP members raised slogans “Governor Go Back”, alleging that he failed to safeguard the constitutional institutions. Midway through the Governor’s address, however, the TDP members staged a walk out in protest.
