Telangana defection row: ‘Turncoat’ MLAs take cover under Rs 5k donation to BRS, petitions dismissed
The Telangana Assembly Speaker dismissed disqualification petitions against BRS MLAs, citing continued monthly contributions to the legislature party office as proof of their membership. The BRS contested this, arguing automatic deductions don't negate defection evidence, and alleged speaker bias. The ruling also highlighted procedural flaws in the petitions and insufficient evidence.
