Former minister and BRS MLA G Jagadish Reddy was suspended from the Telangana Assembly for the remainder of the Budget session for his inappropriate remarks against Speaker Gaddam Prasad Rao during the debate on the governor’s address.
The Telangana High Court on Monday imposed a fine of Rs 30 lakh on former BRS MLA from Vemulawada constituency, Chennamaneni Ramesh for suppressing facts about his German citizenship before the court.
The dissident BRS MLA was involved in an ugly spat with another party MLA, which culminated in his storming the residence of the latter with his supporters prompting the latter to file the complaint against him.
Most of the BRS MLAs in the city and adjoining areas were originally with the TDP and had won in 2014 on its ticket.
Another BRS MLA defected to the Congress in Telangana on Saturday, bringing the total number of defectors to seven.
BRS leaders tore the banners and demanded stern action against the accused BJP leaders.
However, there has been no police complaint against the legislator. The MLA denied it claiming that he was merely inquiring about toll collection on an unfinished highway.
