Uncertainty continues over Khairatabad MLA Danam Nagender after the Assembly Speaker deferred the hearing on disqualification petitions against him to February 18. The case centres on whether contesting the Lok Sabha election on a Congress ticket amounts to defection under the Constitution

The Supreme Court has given the Telangana Assembly Speaker two weeks to decide on disqualification petitions against 10 BRS MLAs who defected to the Congress. While petitions against nine legislators may be dismissed citing lack of evidence, their cases are expected to face judicial review. Petitioners presented photos and videos of the MLAs joining Congress, but the legislators relied on affidavits denying defection.

Khairatabad MLA Danam Nagender admitted that he had defected to the Congress, triggering political debate amid disqualification proceedings. He said he remained a Congress MLA and would campaign across GHMC divisions ahead of civic polls.

Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy said the Congress had nothing to respond after the Speaker dismissed BRS disqualification petitions, defended the government on food safety and the Messi event, and said future elections would be held after consultations.

Station Ghanpur MLA Kadiyam Srihari has denied allegations of defecting from the Bharat Rashtra Samithi to the Congress, submitting a counter affidavit to Assembly Speaker Gaddam Prasad Kumar. His response comes amid disqualification petitions against several BRS MLAs accused of switching loyalties after the 2023 elections.

Station Ghanpur MLA Kadiyam Srihari has sought more time to respond to the Speaker’s disqualification notice, while attention now turns to Khairthabad MLA Danam Nagender.
