All the three BJP MLAs – Eatala Rajender, T. Raja Singh and M. Raghunandan Rao hailed the TS High Court order directing them to meet the Speaker of Legislative Assembly and explain their “stand” to him on the last day of the session on Tuesday.
At a late night press conference following the court order on Monday, the MLAs said they would be proceeding towards the Assembly before the session starts at 9 a.m. to serve the order to the Speaker. “We are confident the Speaker will strengthen the democratic traditions and adhere to the court order,” said Mr. Rao.
Mr. Rajender accused ruling TRS party of tossing aside the parliamentary conventions and practices by banishing them from attending current budget session. “The government is afraid of being exposed by us and this is the real reason in sending us out within 15 minutes, when we we sought to highlight the lack of the traditional Governor’s address before the start of the session,” he said.
