Two T MLAs who quit Cong, meet Speaker

Two MLAs from Telangana, Somarapu Satyanarayana and T Rajaiah, who resigned from their posts as well as Congress party to join the Telangana Rasthra Samiti (TRS) met Assembly Speaker Nadendla Manohar today to present their case. While Somarapu, who represents Ramagundam in Karimnagar district, requested the Speaker not to accept his resignation, Station Ghanpur MLA Rajaiah said he stood by his decision to quit. “I have requested the Speaker not to accept my resignation,” Somarapu told newsmen.

Rajaiah said he stood by his resignation but left the decision on this to the Speaker’s discretion. The Ramagundam MLA said he would move a privilege motion against the local police officials who kept him under house-arrest recently when district minister D Sridhar Babu conducted the government’s mass contact Rachchabanda programme in the constituency. Another MLA Jupally Krishna from Kollapur in Mahbubnagar district, who too quit his post as well as the Congress party along with Somarapu and Rajaiah, met the Speaker last evening and claimed to have requested the latter to ‘accept’ his resignation.

Speaker Manohar left for Tirupati this afternoon and will return to the state capital on 26. He is expected to take a final decision on the pending resignations by the end of this month as the winter session of the state Legislature is scheduled to begin on December 1
