Cong out to get back MLAs from J camp
Hyderabad: Contrary to the public posture adopted by the state Congress leadership, all out efforts were being made in the party to win back at least half the MLAs who had switched their loyalties over to the Kadapa MP, Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy.
A team of important functionaries have been entrusted with the task of assuaging the ruffled feelings of these members as part of the special mission.
'Positive indications have been received from at least ten of the party MLAs', claimed the party sources. These MLAs had reportedly admitted to have tendered their resignations under pressure and wanted time to review their decision to quit.
The Assembly speaker is expected to take a decision on their resignations after interacting with each one of them personally.
Those likely to come back to the party fold are to be given ample time to make up their mind. The resignations of the MLAs who are firm on quitting their membership of the legislative assembly, are likely to be considered immediately.
The election commission is likely to issue election notification for Banswada constituency in Nizamabad district in October next. The seat fell vacant following the resignation of Pocharam Srinivasa Reddy, who had quit the TDP to join the TRS.
The Congress party seem to be favouring early election, if possible along with the Banswada constituency. The party had already taken up an exercise for appointment of persons incharge for the constituencies concerned. They are likely to be nominated after the finalization of the party candidates for the bye-elections.
The Congress leadership has also focused on the possibility of disqualifying some of the rebel MLAs under the anti ' defection laws. Complaints are pending against the PRP MLA who joined YS Jagan camp and they are likely to be taken up for review after one to one interaction of the speaker with the members concerned.
