On Monday, both the leaders submitted separate representations, besides providing detailed information about their qualifications, and activities.

Reminding that the Council of Ministers had previously approved their nomination on July 31, 2023, the two BRS leaders said they did not attract any disqualification under Article 191 of Indian constitution. However, their nominations were rejected through an order dated September 19, 2023, prompting them to approach the High Court for justice.

The High Court overturned the earlier orders, quashing the rejection of Sravan and Satyanarayana’s nomination. It also declared that the Governor was obligated to act in accordance with the aid and advice of the Council of Ministers in matters of nominations.

“I have sacrificed a lucrative corporate career and got into public life to serve the society,” Sravan said.

If given the opportunity as MLCs, both the BRS leaders expressed their commitment to upholding constitutional values, contributing to strengthening the legislature, uplifting tribals and the downtrodden.
