Meanwhile, Congress Working Committee member K. Keshava Rao has urged the Deputy Speaker N. Manohar to reconsider the decision to suspend five MLAs for a week, in the wake of unruly scenes witnessed in the Assembly during the Governor's address.

At a press conference on Sunday, Mr. Keshava Rao felt that, the Deputy Speaker should have given an opportunity to the suspended MLAs to hear their version.

He faulted Lok Satta MLA N. Jayaprakash Narayan for saying that the Assembly had turned a haven for corrupt people. He criticized the Governor's address for failing to mention the non-cooperation agitation and the death of over 300 students and youths during Telangana agitation.
