District Congress president and Government Chief Whip G.
V. Ramana Reddy said on Saturday that the MLCs owing allegiance to Y.
S. Jaganmohan Reddy would also be disqualified soon.
Though three Congress MLCs --
Konda Murali, Pulla Padmavathi (both from Warangal) and S.V.Mohan Reddy
(Chittoor) -- have been backing Mr. Jaganmohan and even understood to
have submitted their resignations to the Chairman in January, no
decision has been taken yet.
In such a case, two
MLCs from the district – P. Padmavathi and K Muralidhar Rao -- would
lose their membership of the Council. Ms. Padmavathi was elected to the
council on MLAs quota for a six-year term and has another three years to
go while K. Muralidhar Rao who was elected under local bodies' quota in
2009 has two more years, according to party sources.
Speaking
to newsmen here, he said the disqualification of MLAs by the party
would serve as warning to all those who defied the party. The MLCs too
who time and again criticised the party and backed the YSRCP would face
the same fate sooner or later.
Special
Correspondent from Hyderabad adds: The disqualification of 16 ruling
party MLAs by Speaker N. Manohar on Friday has not found any echo yet in
the Legislative Council. The Upper House has a 10-day recess and will
assemble on March 14.
Mr. Jupudi Prabhakar
Rao, nominated under the Governor's quota and three other rebel
candidates elected with the backing of YSRCP – Desai Thippa Reddy
(Chittoor), Meka Seshu Babu (WG) and C.Narayana Reddy (Kadapa) are known
loyalists of Jagan.
