Today, the High Court of Telangana directed the Assembly speaker to make a decision on the fate of the BRS MLAs who recently defected to Congress, within four weeks.
If the speaker fails to act within the given timeframe, the High Court will treat the matter as a suo motu case and proceed with further investigation.
