Ruling Congress MLA Revuri Prakash Reddy said the question of discussing the issue in the House does not rise following Governor's the nod to register the case against the BRS working president and the Anti Corruption Bureau (ACB) having taken up the investigation.

The attempt of BRS members is to confuse people through the debate in the House, Prakash Reddy said.

The Speaker then took up the government bill and Revenue Minister Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy started speaking on it.

As the commotion continued, the Speaker adjourned the House for 15 minutes.

The ACB on Thursday registered a case against Rama Rao over alleged payments, some of it in foreign currency allegedly without approvals, to conduct Formula-E race in Hyderabad during the previous BRS regime.
