Slogan shouting and filibustering Telugu Desam corporators were chucked out of the GHMC council meeting on Tuesday for demanding that a resolution be passed to express solidarity with farmers. Yet, they thwarted several attempts by marshals to remove them from the hall when Mayor B. Kartika Reddy suspended them.

She refused to allow any such resolution stating it was an issue to be raised in the Assembly and the council will discuss civic issues only. Congress corporators vociferously supported her, the BJP supported such a resolution whereas the Majlis expressed solidarity with the farmers in distress, but appealed to the TDP to allow civic issues be debated before taking up any other resolution.
