"Operation Successful, Patient Dead": Supreme Court On BRS MLAs' Defection Case

The Supreme Court on Thursday directed the Speaker of the Telangana Legislative Assembly to decide on petitions seeking the disqualification of 10 MLAs, who jumped ship from the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) to the Congress in 2023, under the Tenth Schedule of the Constitution in three months. 

The defections took place after the state elections in 2023, and one of the MLAs had even fought the 2024 Lok Sabha polls on a Congress ticket.
