KCR holds assembly after SC judgement on MLAs disqualification petitions; KTR asks social gathering ranks to work for by-polls

Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) has welcomed the Supreme Court judgement within the case of 10 social gathering MLAs becoming a member of the ruling Congress social gathering, asking the Speaker of the Telangana Legislative Assembly to finish the proceedings over the petitions filed looking for disqualification of the ten MLAs.

The 10 BRS MLAs who joined the Congress are Danam Nagender; Kadiyam Srihari; Tellam Venkat Rao; Pocharam Srinivas Reddy; M. Sanjay Kumar; Kale Yadaiah; Bandla Krishnamohan Reddy; T. Prakash Reddy; Arekapudi Gandhi and Gudem Mahipal Reddy.

Working president of the social gathering Ok.T. Rama Rao mentioned in a press release following the decision on Thursday (July 31, 2025) that the judgement had proved as soon as in opposition to that the democratic system was vigilant within the nation regardless of some elected representatives taking the mistaken path.

He expressed hoped that All India Congress Committee (AICC) chief and Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi too would welcome the decision because it was he — as a part of the ‘Paanch Nyay’ promise made within the Congress social gathering’s election manifesto for the Lok Sabha elections — who was vocal for automated disqualification of elected representatives in case of their defection. In case he was honest about his dedication in the direction of the promise, he should be sure that the ten MLAs had been disqualified.

The BRS chief mentioned there was no want for any additional inquiry into matter for the reason that 10 MLAs commonly participated within the ruling social gathering programmes. The BRS would prepare for the by-elections within the 10 constituencies and he requested the social gathering ranks to work for it.

The social gathering president and former Chief Minister Ok. Chandrashekar Rao had assembly with Mr. Rama Rao, T. Harish Rao, G. Jagadish Reddy and others at his Erravelli farmhouse following the Supreme Court judgement.

Meanwhile, social gathering Whip within the Assembly Ok.P. Vivekanand and social gathering normal secretary Soma BharAth Kumar mentioned chatting with newspersons that the petitions in opposition to the ten MLAs had been pending with the Speaker for about 18 months now. They termed the Supreme Court judgement as historic and mentioned it was a slap for the Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy who had mentioned within the Assembly that by-elections can be held for 10 seats, when the matter was pending within the Apex Court.

The BRS leaders mentioned that any delay in disposing of the disqualification petitions inside three months by the Speaker would quantity to contempt of courtroom, as said by the Supreme Court itself in its judgement making it clear that it was for the Speaker who should act on the petitions.
