Telangana Assembly Speaker Gaddam Prasad Kumar dismissed BRS petitions seeking disqualification of defected MLAs, citing lack of evidence. The decision, delivered ahead of a Supreme Court deadline, has reignited debate over constitutional propriety and legislative neutrality
For the first time in the history of Telangana Assembly and the Legislative Council, the ruling party sought to adjourn the House, due to delayed discussion in the State Cabinet on crucial subjects to be taken up for discussion in the House
In a statement, Harish Rao announced that the High Court's ruling upheld the disqualification of MLAs who defected from their parties, leading to by-elections in their constituencies. He expressed confidence that the BRS would win these bypolls and hoped that the Assembly Speaker would implement the High Court's decision within the next four weeks.
