One can understand the demand of AP Chief Minister and TDP president N Chandrababu Naidu for removal of Governor E S L Narasimhan on the ground that the latter was partisan towards the Telangana Rashtra Samithi government.
But surprisingly, Telangana Congress leader and former minister Marri Shashidhar Reddy also wants the Governor to step down. However, the reason is different.
He asked Narsimhan whether he was justified in continuing in his position as he had failed to protect the Constitution with regard to anti-defection law.
Shashidhar Reddy said the issue of Commercial Taxes Minister and Sanath Nagar MLA Talasani Srinivas Yadav, who took oath as a minister before his resignation was accepted by the Speaker, has become a hot topic even in the national capital. He said the Governor is expected to ensure the constitutional bodies initiate action against Talasani.
He also urged the Speaker to reveal whether he received Talasani Srinivas Yadav’s resignation letter or not.
“The entire Telangana people are looking at the Speaker whether he could accept the resignation of Talasani in case he received resignation letter”, he asserted.
