Nine BRS-Elected MLAs Meet Telangana CM as Speaker’s Disqualification Clock Ticks

A Supreme Court 90-day deadline on defection petitions is prompting swift replies that deny any formal party switch.

Overview

  • Speaker Gaddam Prasad Kumar has issued notices to 10 legislators following the court order to conclude the disqualification cases within three months.
  • Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy met nine of the 10 at his residence for over an hour; Station Ghanpur MLA Kadiyam Srihari was absent.
  • The Chief Minister and senior ministers guided the group on legally framed responses and urged timely replies, while the MLAs publicly described the meetings as efforts to secure constituency funds.
  • Gadwal MLA B. Krishna Mohan Reddy informed the Speaker he has neither resigned from BRS nor joined Congress, and Assembly records still list the legislators as BRS members.
  • Reporting cites legal opinion that Danam Nagender and Kadiyam Srihari face greater risk of disqualification, with cited evidence including a Congress B-Form and visible campaigning.
