Her repeated appeals to withdraw their protest did not pacify the agitating MPs. Lok Sabha was adjourned twice due to their agitation in the lower house. Later Speaker called for a meeting of all parties in her chamber and asked them to co-operate to conduct the house. On the other side, Opposition parties in Andhra Pradesh are conducting bandh today demanding Special Status for the state.

People are co-operating to the bandh indicating the strong sentiment in favour of the Special Status issue. TDP Ponnur MLA, Narendra sat for a one-day Deeksha against center’s insensitive attitude towards the state. It is said that BJP high command is getting continuous ground reports about people’s mood on the issue.
