He stated that the Congress party continues to work with a strong commitment to social justice. He said they will fight until 42% BC reservations are implemented in Telangana. Moreover, he appealed to young BC members not to act in haste or resort to harmful decisions under pressure.

He added that BC reservations would be secured constitutionally, similar to SC and ST quotas. He called Sai Eshwara Chari’s death extremely unfortunate and asked the community not to repeat such actions. The TPCC Chief assured full support to the bereaved family from the government.

Fresh notices were issued again to both leaders, and the Speaker reportedly asked them to file affidavits immediately. The Supreme Court earlier directed that these disqualification cases be resolved within four weeks. With the inquiry for other MLAs completed, political circles are now discussing Danam’s next move. His silence has created more speculation.

Danam contested the recent Lok Sabha polls from Secunderabad on a Congress ticket. Sources say responding to the notice may create political complications for him later. If the decision goes against him, it may weaken his position. Reports indicate he is considering resignation as a safer political option, especially with Congress gaining strong momentum in Greater Hyderabad.

Nagender travelled to Delhi on Thursday and met senior AICC leaders. He reportedly discussed his resignation plan and requested a cabinet position if he wins the by-election again. His followers believe he may announce his decision anytime. Congress leaders also feel a by-poll win in Khairatabad would be easier after the party’s huge majority in the Jubilee Hills by-election.

Two more legislators, Kadiyam Srihari and Danam Nagender, are required to respond to the Speaker’s notices. Their hearings are scheduled for tomorrow, and the Assembly expects to proceed with concluding the pending disqualification cases.

Since becoming a constituency in 2008, Jubilee Hills has displayed diverse voting behavior. In previous polls, voters supported different parties in assembly, parliament, and GHMC elections. While Congress banks on Chief Minister Revanth Reddy’s local influence and MIM’s silent support, BRS is relying on regional sentiment and anti-incumbency. BJP’s limited campaign presence has reduced its chances.

Local caste equations, minority votes, and urban elites’ indifference have added complexity. The TDP’s neutral stance has created uncertainty among its traditional supporters. Analysts believe the main fight remains between Congress and BRS.

Though this victory may be temporary, its impact could be far-reaching. A Congress win may boost government morale, while a BRS revival could energize its cadre and reshape Telangana’s political balance.

Responding sharply on Sunday, MLA Madhavaram Krishna Rao challenged Gandhi’s remarks and demanded a probe into both their assets. He said he was ready to face any inquiry and punishment if found guilty of encroaching government land. Rao urged Chief Minister Revanth Reddy to order a fair investigation.

Rao further accused Gandhi of owning vast land parcels, claiming Gandhi possessed 500 acres in Kurnool and 200 acres in Mahbubnagar. He dared Gandhi to face an official probe into his estate holdings and suggested starting the inquiry from Gandhi’s properties.

The war of words has intensified political discussions across Telangana. Party members and political observers are now waiting to see how the BRS leadership will react to the escalating feud between its two key legislators.

Deputy Floor Leader Payal Shankar and Election Commission Affairs Committee Chairman Marri Shashidhar Reddy met Chief Electoral Officer Sudarshan Reddy and submitted a formal representation. They argued that the Congress government was using Azharuddin’s possible appointment as a political tactic to attract voters.

The BJP accused the Telangana Chief Minister of violating the Model Code of Conduct. They claimed that even though the code does not cover all of Hyderabad, the decision could still affect voting in Jubilee Hills. The party urged the EC to delay any cabinet announcement until polling ends.

BJP leaders also pointed out that Azharuddin contested from Jubilee Hills in the 2023 Assembly elections. They said the timing of his proposed appointment was a deliberate attempt to sway voters in his favor.

While the MLAs denied any defection, Prasad was reportedly not convinced with their explanations and has asked them to provide stronger evidence to support their claims. Sources indicate that the Speaker is preparing to begin trial proceedings soon to examine the matter in detail. The issue of party defection has long been a sensitive political concern in the state, as shifting loyalties could affect the balance of power in the Assembly.

The upcoming inquiry will determine whether the MLAs violated anti-defection rules and what disciplinary action , if any, will follow. This development has intensified political debate in Telangana ahead of key legislative decisions.

The BRS legal cell has reviewed the matter and decided to present *additional evidence* in support of its case, arguing that the defecting MLAs should face disqualification. Party sources confirmed that they will press strongly for action to prevent further weakening of the BRS in the Assembly.

Meanwhile, among the MLAs who were issued notices, *Kadiyam Srihari* and *Danam Nagender* are yet to submit their explanations. Today’s developments will play a key role in the Speaker’s decision-making process on whether the rebel legislators’ membership in the Assembly will be upheld or terminated.

KTR questioned how Rahul Gandhi, who campaigns across India raising issues of democracy and constitutional values, could justify engineering defections for political survival in Telangana. He said Rahul should feel ashamed for resorting to what he described as “cheap politics.”

The BRS leader alleged that the Congress government in Telangana has failed to deliver on its promises and is now trying to divert attention by targeting opposition MLAs. “Instead of focusing on governance, Rahul Gandhi is busy destabilizing political systems in states by poaching leaders. This is nothing but hypocrisy,” KTR said.

He also reminded that the Congress had promised transparency, clean politics, and welfare programs, but in reality, it is only busy strengthening its numbers in the Assembly through questionable means. According to KTR, people of Telangana are watching closely and will soon give a befitting reply.

The war of words comes at a time when the Congress government in Telangana faces mounting pressure from opposition parties over issues like unemployment, irrigation projects, and farmer welfare. KTR said the BRS will continue to raise public issues and expose what he called the Congress’ “double standards.”

With this sharp criticism, Telangana politics is likely to see more heated exchanges between the BRS and Congress in the coming days.
