The notices come amid scrutiny of pending disqualification petitions involving ten MLAs. Earlier, the Speaker gave a clean chit to Arikepudi Gandhi, Gudem Mahipal Reddy, Bandla Krishna Mohan, Prakash Goud, Tellam Venkata Rao, Pocharam Srinivas Reddy, and Kale Yadaiah. They were formally recognized as BRS MLAs.

However, proceedings related to Danam Nagender, Kadiyam Srihari, and Dr Sanjay remained pending until now.

Telangana MLA defection case gains momentum after Supreme Court notice

The Telangana MLA defection case gained momentum after the Supreme Court issued a contempt notice to the Speaker on January 19. The court warned of strict action if delays continued in deciding the disqualification petitions.

Against this backdrop, the notice issued to Danam Nagender has drawn attention. While continuing as a BRS MLA, he contested the 2024 general elections as a Congress candidate for Parliament. This development is cited as a key basis for the defection allegation.

Political circles suggest that action in the Telangana MLA defection case is now unavoidable.

Meanwhile, speculation continues that Danam Nagender may resign as MLA before any disqualification order and opt for a by-election.

The next hearing is expected to clarify the course of the case. (Maxim News)
