The Telangana High Court’s disqualification of Danam Nagender has renewed focus on the Congress’s 2024 manifesto promise to make defection an automatic ground for disqualification. Nagender had joined Congress from BRS and contested the Secunderabad Lok Sabha election while remaining an MLA.
Discontent appears to be growing among BRS MLAs who defected to the Congress, with Danam Nagender and Pocharam Srinivas Reddy publicly flagging coordination issues and difficulties in securing funds for constituency development under the Revanth Reddy government.
