Protesting the suspension, YSRCP leader Y.S. Vijayamma staged a walkout.
After coming out of the assembly building, the legislators staged a sit-in on the road, leading to a traffic jam. Police arrested the lawmakers and shifted them to a police station.
The members were suspended a few minutes after the house re-assembled, following two adjournments.
The speaker twice adjourned the house in the morning as YSRCP members continued to stall proceedings. They wanted the speaker to first pass a resolution for a united Andhra Pradesh before taking up the debate on the bill.
