Telugu Desam Party (TDP) Bapatla MP Krishna Prasad Tenneti on Tuesday found himself at the centre of attention while chairing proceedings of the Lok Sabha after an MP referred to him as “yaar”. A 1986-batch IPS officer, 65-year-old Tenneti has served as the Director General of Police (DGP) of Telangana. Tenneti has previously served as the chairperson of the Telangana Road Safety Authority and Additional Director General of Railways and Road Safety. A first-time MP, Tenneti has raised critical issues in Parliament, where he serves as a member of the panel of chairpersons. Reacting to the disruptions in Parliament, TDP national spokesperson Deepak Reddy told The Indian Express that Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi is disrespecting parliamentary procedures.
