Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) working president KT Rama Rao on Friday welcomed the Telangana High Court’s verdict disqualifying Khairatabad MLA Danam Nagender as a member of the legislature under the Anti-Sneak Act. He said other legislators who had defected to the Congress would face a similar fate.

In a post on social media platforms, KTR wrote, “Satyameva Jayate!! BRS MLA Danam Nagendar who defected to Congress was today disqualified by the Hon’ble High Court. Rest of the defectors will also meet the same fate soon.”

BRS MLA Padi Kaushik Reddy, who filed the case against Mr. Danam Nagender, said the verdict showed how people’s aspirations cannot be disappointed by MLAs elected on the party symbol. He said that the Congress government should be ashamed and this judgment is the result of the BRS party’s continuous fight against defections to the Congress party.

Mr. Kaushik Reddy said that the fight would continue until the other BRS MLAs who had defected to the Congress were also disqualified from the House.
