BJP MLAs-elect may not attend swearing-in at Telangana Assembly on Saturday

Eight newly elected BJP MLAs are unlikely to be sworn in at the Assembly when it meets on Saturday morning. Although a final decision is yet to be taken, the party MLAs-elect do not wish to be sworn in by the pro tem speaker and AIMIM leader Akbaruddin Owaisi, according to party sources on Friday.

The BJP MLAs-elect are expected to assemble at the State office at 7.30 a.m. on Saturday for a breakfast meeting with party State president and Union Minister for Tourism, Culture and Development of Northeast Region G. Kishan Reddy to finalise the strategy.

What is for sure is that the MLAs-elect will first offer prayers at the Bhagyalakshmi Temple at Charminar after the meeting and from there, they will proceed to the Martyr’s Memorial in front of the Assembly to pay homage. Whether they will go into the Assembly from there is yet to be known.
