Telangana: An RTI query by Congress leader Venkata Ramanna Reddy revealed on Monday that Telangana Commercial Taxes Minister Talasani Yadav has violated the anti-defection law.
Yadav, who defected to TRS (Telangana Rashtriya Samithi) from the TDP (Telegu Desam Party), was appointed as a cabinet minister in the Telangana government without officially resigning from the TDP. This means that under the anti-defection law, he was appointed as a Cabinet minister unconstitutionally.
The Congress has demanded Yadav's disqualification.
Opposition parties have been demanding implementation of the anti-defection law and stern probes against all MLA who shifted parties after the state elections in 2014.
The High Court has also sought to know the time required by the Assembly Speaker to dispose pending disqualification pleas of MLAs and MLCs who defected.
