MLAs loyal to YS Jagan Mohan Reddy wrote to the Speaker N Manohar to disqualify them from the House.
The 13 MLAs, belonging to Congress and TDP, have defied the whip and vote in favour of the No Confidence Motion following which the two parties have complained to the speaker to take action against them.
The speaker served notices on them.
Before the next move, the MLAs had written an open letter seeking immediate disqualification u/s 151 (a) which paves way for the by-election.
There need to be one year gap between the general election and any by-election. (INN)
