Adulteration of milk: T’gana house adjourned twice over the issue

Update: 2014-11-13 00:53 GMT
The Telangana assembly was on Wednesday adjourned twice as TDP members protested over ruling TRS’ allegation that a company owned by Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu’s family was supplying adulterated milk that was banned by Kerala government.

The TDP members were on their feet during question hour as TRS member E Ravindra Reddy and Redya Naik, who recently switched from Congress to the ruling party, alleged that the milk supplied by the firm was adulterated. State information technology minister K T Rama Rao supported his party colleagues and flashed a purported order issued by Kerala government banning the milk.

Deputy CM S Rajaiah, who holds the health portfolio, said a case was registered against the company at Panjagutta in Hyderabad following a sample test in which the milk was found to contain ‘detergent’ and action was taken against it as per the Food Safety Act, 2006. Taking exception to this, TDP’s senior legislator A Revanth Reddy and others came into the well of the house.
