MLA disqualification Telangana verdict expected today
- Final ruling to impact Telangana Assembly political balance
MLA disqualification Telangana | Hyderabad, Dec. 17: The long standing political suspense in Telangana is set to end today, with the Speaker expected to announce a final decision on MLA disqualification Telangana cases.
The issue arose after MLAs elected on the BRS ticket in the 2023 Assembly elections later joined the ruling Congress party.
Following these defections, BRS and BJP leaders approached the court seeking disqualification of the defected legislators under the anti defection law.
Acting on these petitions, the court directed the Speaker to take immediate action, which set the stage for today’s crucial development.
After hearing the petitions in several rounds, the Speaker is scheduled to deliver the final verdict this afternoon.
According to available information, the Speaker’s office has already issued notices to advocates representing five MLAs involved in the disqualification petitions.
The decision is expected to be announced at 3.30 pm at the Speaker’s office.

Meanwhile, advocates representing the BRS party as well as lawyers appearing for the defected MLAs are expected to be present during the announcement.
The MLA disqualification Telangana case has drawn wide attention as it directly affects the strength and balance of parties in the Telangana Assembly.
The list of MLAs facing a decision includes Arikepudi Gandhi, Tellam Venkata Rao, Bandla Krishnamohan Reddy, Prakash Goud, and Gudem Mahipal Reddy.
There is strong political interest in how the Speaker will rule on these five cases, as the outcome could influence both the opposition’s numbers and the overall political alignment inside the House.
However, the proceedings are not limited to these five MLAs alone. Another set of five MLAs is still under scrutiny, and the inquiry in their cases is continuing.
Among them, MLAs Kadiyam and Danam Nagender sought additional time to submit their explanations. As a result, a final decision on their cases is likely to take more time.
Therefore, today’s ruling will address only part of the larger issue related to defections.
The Speaker’s decision in the MLA disqualification Telangana matter is expected to have a significant impact. It will shape the future application of the anti defection law in the state.
It will also influence the political strategies of both ruling and opposition parties going forward. Meanwhile, all sides are closely watching the Speaker’s office as the countdown to the verdict continues.
