Demanding that Telangana Assembly Speaker S Madhusudhana Chary accept the resignations all other defectors along with that of Revanth Reddy now, former minister and Congress senior leader Danam Nagender said that it would be construed as the Speaker being an agent of the TRS in case he failed to accept the resignations of Revanth Reddy and other MLAs.
Previously, 12 MLAs from the TDP and another 10 from the Congress had defected to the TRS, and the two parties have been clamouring with the Speaker to accept the resignations of the defectors so that by-elections to those constituencies could be held, but for over two years now the Speaker has kept silent on the issue.
Speaking to the media at Golkonda Hotel, Danam also said that the party's leaders were welcoming Revanth Reddy into the Congress. He said that the leaders would abide by the high command's decision on the role of Revanth Reddy.
"Whatever position is given to Revanth Reddy by the high command, I will welcome it," he said.
He also said that the party would organize a "Girijana Garjana" meeting at Mahbubabad on November 9 in place of the proposed Warangal meeting.
