Telangana HC issues notices to Speaker

The issue of party defection MLAs is becoming a big sensation in Telangana politics. In the latest hearing held on Wednesday, the High Court took a key decision on the matter of party defections.

The bench, which heard the petition challenging the recent judgment given by the Speaker of the Assembly that the ten MLAs who joined the Congress from the BRS have not changed the party, issued notices to the Speaker and seven MLAs.

In particular, after considering the complaints against Danam Nagender, Arikepudi Gandhi, Kale Yadayah, Prakash Goud, Pocharam Srinivas Reddy, Bandla Krishnamohan Reddy and Tellam Venkatarao, the court ordered them to file a counter filing with a full explanation on this matter. Also, the BRS MLAs are insisting that the decision of the Assembly Speaker is unconstitutional and that those who defected should be immediately disqualified. In this context, the High Court's intervention is causing a lot of uproar in the political circles of the state. It is known that the future of this case depends on the response from the Speaker's office and the counter affidavits given by the MLAs.
