High Court ruling a ‘stinging rebuke’ to Speaker: Congress
Speaking to the media at Gandhi Bhavan here on Thursday, Ravi alleged that the TRS government was behaving like an elephant, which would not react even if the rain fell on it. The Congress was welcoming the High Court verdict on Speaker’s decision, he said, and opined that the same verdict was applicable to defected Congress MLAs as well.
Hyderabad: Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) vice president Dr Mallu Ravi said the Hyderabad High Court had faulted the decision of Telangana Legislative Assembly Speaker on the merger of Telangana Telugu Desam Party (TDP) MLAs into the ruling Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS). The court opined that the Speaker’s announcement upholding the TDP MLAs’ joining the TRS was unconstitutional, he said.
Speaking to the media at Gandhi Bhavan here on Thursday, Ravi alleged that the TRS government was behaving like an elephant, which would not react even if the rain fell on it. The Congress was welcoming the High Court verdict on Speaker’s decision, he said, and opined that the same verdict was applicable to defected Congress MLAs as well.
Accusing the TRS government of violating the Constitution, Ravi demanded that the Speaker disqualify the defected MLAs and order fresh elections. “The TRS government was purchasing MLAs of other parties like cattle in the market,” he said. He opined that the court would dismiss the elected governments if they had crossed constitutional limits by not taking action against the defected MLAs within three months.
Demanding the State government to continue the works of Palamuru-Rangareddy and Dindi projects, Ravi asked Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao to reveal the facts of the Apex Committee meeting held in Delhi on September 21 to the people. He alleged that it was not correct on the part of the TRS government to claim that it had launched even old projects.
