If the Telangana government has its way, former minister and Congress MLA from Nalgonda Komatireddy Venkat Reddy might get the suspension from the assembly for one full year, for his alleged unruly behaviour causing injuries to Legislative Council chairman K Swamy Goud.
According to assembly sources, apart from suspension for an year, a criminal case might also be filed against Venkat Reddy for causing injuries to Swamy Goud.
Irrigation and Legislative affairs minister T Harish Rao announced that action would be proposed on Venkat Reddy as per the rules of the Assembly.
Strongly condemning the unruly behaviour of the Congress members, he said it was totally uncalled for on the part of the MLAs to create ruckus in the House.
“They came to the House pre-planned to create disturbances. What would have happened if the headphone hit the Governor, causing him injuries? We have asked the authorities of the assembly to go through the records of the proceedings and submit a report. Based on the report, we shall take action against the MLA,” he said.
Pradesh Congress committee president Uttam Kumar Reddy said the ruling party had adopted a high handed approach to snub the opposition.
"We have respect for Swamy Goud. The government is enacting a drama", Uttam said.
