Hyderabad: Telangana Assembly Speaker Gaddam Prasad Kumar will conduct the hearing on January 30 on the petition for disqualification of MLA Danam Nagender who was elected on a Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) ticket but allegedly shifted loyalties to the ruling Congress party.
The Speaker has issued a notice to Nagender, directing him to appear for hearing. BRS MLA Kaushik Reddy, who had submitted the disqualification petition, has also been summoned for hearing.
The Speaker will also conduct hearing on the same day on the petition submitted by BJP floor leader in the Assembly A Maheshwar Reddy for disqualification of Nagender.
Meanwhile, Nagender said that he has filed an affidavit, urging the Speaker to dismiss the disqualification petition.
The former minister said he has not resigned from the BRS and he has also not received any information about the party suspending him.
Nagender, who was elected as BRS candidate from Khairatabad constituency in Hyderabad in 2023, said he attended a meeting of Congress party in March 2024 in his personal capacity. The Speaker has also already dismissed the petitions to disqualify seven out of 10 BRS MLAs who had allegedly defected to the Congress in 2024.
