Hyderabad: Sparking a fresh row, Telangana Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan on Monday, September 25, rejected the state government’s proposal to nominate BRS leaders Dasoju Sravan Kumar and K Satyanarayana to the Legislative Council under the Governor’s quota.
“My earnest request to the cabinet and the Hon’ble chief minister is to avoid such politically aligned persons to fill up nominated posts under article 171(5) of the Constitution of India, defeating its objectives and enactment and consider only genuinely eminent persons in the respective field,” she said, in a letter, after rejecting the proposal.
The development after the recent tussle between the state government and the Governor over important Bills that included the TSRTC merger Bill in August.
