Telangana Speaker to Rule on MLA Disqualification
The Speaker of Telangana's Assembly will decide if 10 lawmakers should lose their jobs.
These lawmakers are accused of switching from one party (BRS) to another (Congress).
The BRS party says this breaks the rules.
The Supreme Court told the Speaker to make a decision by the end of October.
The hearing is a big deal, and the Assembly is heavily guarded to prevent any trouble.
The decision could change who has power in the state and how the anti-defection law works in the country.

The MLAs are accused of defecting from BRS to Congress.
