Congress threatens to move “No Confidence Motion” against Assembly Speaker

The Congress Legislature Party has decided to move a “No Confidence Motion” against Telangana Legislative Assembly Speaker S Madhusudan Chary and Council Chairman Swamy Goud if they fail to take action against the MLAs who defected to ruling Telangana Rashtra Samithi,

Briefing the media persons after the CLP meeting here on Tuesday, CLP Secretary T. Ram Mohan Reddy said that the Speaker and Chairman have failed to act on several representations made by the Congress party against the MLAs who defected to TRS. Similar representations were made by the TDP. He said that the MLAs have been continuing on the post despite defecting to TRS without fearing any action under the Anti-Defection Law. He said that the continuance of Talasani Srinivas Yadav as the Cabinet Minister despite being a TDP MLA has brought shame to the entire legislature.

He said that the Speaker had even refused to accept the notice sent by the High Court on the issue. He said that CLP has passed a resolution to move a “No Confidence Motion” against the Speaker and also the Council Chairman if they fail to act on disqualification petitions against rebel MLAs. (INN)
