It is now official. All the 12 Telugu Desam Party MLAs who have defected into the ruling Telangana Rashtra Samithi have now merged with the TRS legislature party officially.
A notification to this effect was issued by Telangana Assembly Secretary Raj Sadaram on Thursday following instructions from Speaker S Madhusudhana Chary.
According to the notification, the 12 TDP MLAs – Errabelli Dayakar Rao, Talasani Srinivasa Yadav, Challa Dharma Reddy, Maganti Gopinath, A Gandhi, G Sayanna, M Kishan Reddy, Prakash Goud, Rajender Reddy, M Krishna Rao, T Krishna Reddy and K P Vivekananda – will be hereafter considered as associated members of the TRS.
The Speaker took the decision acting on the representation given by Erraebelli a few days ago. They will be given seats in treasury benches from Friday.
With this, the effective strength of the TRS in the 119-member Assembly has gone up to 78. On the other hand, the strength of the Telangana TDP has come down from 15 to three.
Of these remaining, Sattupalli MLA Sandra Venkata Veeraiah is also waiting for opportunity to jump the fence to the TRS, while LB Nagar MLA R Krishnaiah has been staying away from the party activities for quite some time. That means only Revanth Reddy will remain in the Telangana TDP!
