BRS MLAs – K. P. Vivekananda and Padi Kaushik Reddy met the Legislature secretary and referred to the court orders. In the petition to the secretary, Mr. Vivekananda said that in view of the orders passed by the High Court, the disqualification petitions should be placed forthwith before the Speaker for fixing a schedule of hearing as directed by the court.

Mr. Vivekanand said he had been forced to approach the High Court after repeated petitions submitted to the Speaker’s office to take action on the defected MLAs did not elicit any response.

It may be mentioned here that the High Court had directed the Legislature secretary to place before the Speaker seeking the petition seeking disqualification of three BRS MLAs to fix up the schedule within four weeks for hearing the same.
