The three BJP MLAs – T. Raja Singh, Eatala Rajender and M. Raghunandan Rao will take up a public protest to “save the Constitution and and protect democracy” at the Indira Partk on March 17 to highlight the “injustice” meted out to them in the Legislative Assembly by suspending them all through the budget session.
“Former MLAs, MLCs, corporators, ZPTC members and other public representatives will be participating in the protest from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.,” informed Mr. Rajender at a press conference on Tuesday at the party office. “Yet another bad precedent has been set by the Speaker by not allowing to participate in the budget session despite HC proddings,” said Mr. Rajender.
He was especially pained that the trio was suspended through an intervention by a minister, who ridiculed those fighting for the separate state earlier. “Chief Minister K.Chandrasekhar Rao’s attitude and behaviour in the Assembly is making a mockery of the democracy as he does not wish to have courts or the Constitution, so that he can rule like a monarch,” he charged.
