Telangana Political Developments and DGP Appointment
The Telangana High Court is asking the state government why it didn't follow the Supreme Court's rules for picking a new top police officer.
A lawyer says the government didn't send a list of possible candidates to a central commission like the Supreme Court said to do.
The court wants the government to explain by December 22 if they followed the rules.
The government says they did send a list but it's complicated.
Meanwhile, Chief Minister Revanth Reddy is commenting on the Speaker's verdict regarding some MLAs, suggesting those unhappy should go to court.
He also talked about problems within the BRS party and upcoming elections.
Telangana High Court questioned the state government's compliance with Supreme Court guidelines for DGP appointment.
A petition challenged the appointment of B. Shivadhar Reddy as full additional charge DGP, citing violation of Supreme Court's Prakash Singh vs Union of India directives.
Chief Minister Revanth Reddy suggested that those dissatisfied with the Speaker's verdict on MLA disqualifications should approach the courts.
The Speaker is likely to deliver his verdict on Friday regarding the disqualification petitions filed against three BRS MLAs.
Revanth Reddy claimed BRS has failed to win elections since K T Rama Rao took over and alleged internal strife within BRS.
