YSR Congress senior leader Bhumana Karunakar Reddy welcomed the comments made by Union Minister M Venkaiah Naidu on the need to strengthen the anti-defection law.
Naidu made such comments while participating in a felicitation programme in the city on Friday. ‘It was very wise on part of senior parliamentarian and Minister for Parliamentary Affairs to say that the membership of the defectors should be cancelled immediately and as our leader YS Jagan Mohan Reddy had earlier pointed out the power to disqualify such turncoats should lie with the Election Commission and not the Speaker,’ party leader Bhumana Karunakar Reddy told reporters here on Saturday.
The Union Minister had said that defectors have been mocking at democracy by switching sides and this practice is very bad. Any defector should be immediately disqualified and the law should be strengthened, he opined.Since the union minister for Parliamentary Affairs had expressed the view, an ordinance strengthening the anti-defection law should be brought in immediately and the Act can be amended in the ensuing session, he said.
