Even as the Parliament has adjourned sine die, Telugu Desam Party MPs are staging a dharna in Lok Sabha speaker Sumitra Mahajan's chambers.

However, Mahajan is not present in the chamber, news agency ANI has reported. 

The TDP MPs have created ruckus in the Parliament demanding special status for Andhra Pradesh.  

TDP MPs yesterday protested in Rajya Sabha chamber and refused to leave even after the house was adjourned for the day at around 2.30pm.

The members were in the night around 8.15 pm marshalled out along with the party's Lok Sabha MPs who held protests in the Central Hall in solidarity.
The TDP parted ways with the NDA last month alleging failure in fulfilling the promises made in the State Reorganisation Act. 

Earlier in the morning, TDP president Chandrababu Naidu asked the party's MPs to intensify their protest for special category status for Andhra Pradesh.

This morning in Amaravati, the Andhra Pradesh chief minister led a cycle rally of his ministers and TDP legislators protesting the Centre's attitude towards the state, vis-a-vis the implementation of the AP Reorganisation Act, 2014.
