the state legislative council purportedly looked at TDP chief N Chandrababu Naidu, who was sitting in the gallery of the House and is
against the three capital bill

YSRCP MLC Iqbal said that the chairman of the state legislative council should have been 'impartial'."TDP brought forward the rule 71 and
the chairman came under their pressure
He should have been impartial and today is a black day
They (TDP) should have moved a proposal to be sent to the select committee at the time of the introduction of the bill but they didn't do so
If a chairman is working on the lines of a party then it is a black spot in his career," said Iqbal, YSRCP MLC.However, TDP leader in Andhra

We have told categorically that do not use discretionary power," said BJP MLC PVN Madhav."Whatever has happened is not right and we believe
that this is a black day because of the fight between YSRCP and TDP which has now gone to peaks
The capital issue is to be once and for all closed and it should not continue
So we will be why this unnecessary issue is being dragged
Yesterday Rule 71this resolution was passed by TDP and we do not support it," he added
