BRS Moves Supreme Court Against 10 MLAs 

BRS Seeks Disqualification of 10 MLAs

Petition Highlights Speaker’s Inaction

Citing Kesham Meghchandra Case for Precedent

Potential Political Impact in Telangana

TPN Correspondent
Hyderabad, Jan 17:
The Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) has approached the Supreme Court seeking the disqualification of 10 MLAs who were elected on a BRS ticket in the last Assembly elections but later joined the Congress. The party has stated in its petition that despite filing a complaint nine months ago, the Speaker has not taken any action against the defecting MLAs. 

 

BRS has filed a *Special Leave Petition (SLP)* against Kadiyam Srihari, Tellam Venkat Rao, and Danam Nagender, while a *writ petition* has been submitted against the remaining seven MLAs. The party has also informed the Supreme Court that even though the High Court issued its verdict on the matter six months ago, the Speaker has failed to act, nor have the defecting MLAs received any notices. 

 

The party has cited the Supreme Court’s judgment in the *Kesham Meghchandra case*, which mandated that the Speaker must decide on disqualification petitions within three months. BRS has urged the Supreme Court to direct the Speaker to take a decision within four weeks. 

 

This legal move comes amid growing political tensions in Telangana, with the BRS accusing the Congress of engineering defections to strengthen its legislative majority. The case is expected to have significant political implications, as a ruling in favor of BRS could lead to by-elections in multiple constituencies.
