The Telangana Legislative Council is meeting Wednesday to elect its new Chairman in the backdrop of defection of MLCs from the Congress and the TDP to the ruling party.

TRS leader in the Council Swami Goud filed his nomination for the Chairman’s post but the Congress too fielded its member Farooq Hussain to counter the ruling party.

Congress today accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of having an “autocratic mindset” whose government has “trampled” upon established constitutional processes in its “vendetta” against former Solicitor General Gopal Subramanium.

Calling Subramanium a “known jurist”, the opposition party said the NDA government’s move to oppose his elevation as a Supreme Court judge was because of the “independent stance” taken by him as a court appointed counsel against Gujarat government in cases like Shorabuddin, Kausar Bi and Ishrat Jahan.

A news channel of Telangana has complained that it has been blacked out in the state, prompting Union Information and Broadcasting Minister Prakash Javadekar to write to Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao seeking his intervention in the matter.

In his letter, Javadekar has said a representation had been received from ABN Andhra Jyoti TV channel complaining that the Cable TV operators had closed down its transmission from June 16 for an “indefinite period”.
