The Telangana Assembly speaker announced the suspension of 22 BRS legislators, including KTR, while reviewing whether the party had submitted its demands in writing.
The speaker of the Telangana Legislative Assembly declared that 22 members of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), among them senior leader K.T. Rama Rao (KTR), have been suspended from the house. The decision was taken after the party’s actions were deemed to breach assembly procedures.
According to the speaker, the suspension will remain in effect until it is confirmed whether the BRS legislators submitted their demands in writing to the speaker’s office. He said the written submission is a prerequisite for any further consideration of the issue.
The move underscores the heightened tensions within the state’s ruling party and signals a strict enforcement of procedural norms in the assembly. No additional disciplinary measures were disclosed at the time of the announcement.
KTR, a prominent figure in Telangana politics, has not yet responded publicly to the suspension. The speaker indicated that the matter will be revisited once the required documentation, if any, is verified.
The suspension is expected to affect the legislative dynamics in the assembly, given the BRS’s majority status, but the speaker emphasized that adherence to procedural rules remains paramount.
