Telangana High Court issued a verdict on Monday, September 9, on MLAs who defected from BRS to the Congress, directing the Speaker’s office to make a decision on the defections in four weeks and said that it will be investigated as Suo Motu case if a decision is not made within the stipulated time.
Many petitions have been filed in the High Court to disqualify MLAs who have defected from BRS to Congress. BRS and BJP leaders like Padi Kaushik Reddy, Vivekananda Goud and Maheshwar Reddy filed pleas to disqualify Khairatabad MLA Danam Nagender, Station Ghanpur MLA Kadiyam Srihari and Bhadrachalam MLA Tellam Venkat Rao.
