A key development has taken place in Telangana politics. Assembly Speaker Gaddam Prasad has issued notices to BRS MLAs who have defected from their party. On Friday, notices were sent to five out of the ten MLAs who switched allegiance, with reports indicating that additional notices may be forthcoming for other MLAs as well.

In light of directives from the Supreme Court, Speaker Gaddam Prasad has acted to notify the defectors. It appears that the decision to issue these notices was made after consultations with legal experts. There is considerable anticipation surrounding the responses of the defected MLAs to the Speaker's notifications, reigniting interest in Telangana politics. The crucial questions now are whether these defected leaders will choose to return to the BRS party in response to the notices or opt to resign from their positions. The outcome remains uncertain.

The Speaker has sent notices to Bandla Krishnamohan Reddy, the MLA from Gadwala, due to his alleged affiliation with the Congress party after winning as a candidate for the BRS party. He has been asked to promptly address the complaints put forth by the BRS party. Moreover, it has been reported that four other MLAs have also received notices from the Speaker.

In response to the notices issued by Speaker Prasad Kumar, MLA Krishnamohan Reddy stated that he will provide his response shortly. He emphasised that he has not switched party and has not joined the Congress party. The BRS MLA explained that his meeting with Chief Minister Revanth Reddy was merely a courtesy call aimed at discussing development for the Gadwala constituency. Krishnamohan Reddy affirmed that he remains a member of the BRS party.
