Intensifying his campaign for the removal of TDP MLA and commercial taxes minister Talasani Yadava from Telangana cabinet, former MLA Marri Sashidhar Reddy on Saturday dashed off a letter to union home minister Rajnath Singh urging him to relieve Governor ESL Narasimhan of his responsibilities for protecting the minister unconstitutionally.
He urged the union minister to direct Governor ESL Narasimhan to remove Yadav from chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao’s cabinet immediately as he completed six months in the cabinet. He charged Governor with deliberately allowing Srinvas Yadad in the cabinet without seeking his resignation as per the constitutional provision.
“The Governor deliberately chose to ignore paragraph 2 (1)(a) of Tenth Schedule of the Constitution and the ruling by the Constitutional Bench of Hon. Supreme Court of India, in the Rajender Singh Rana Vs Swami Prasad Mauray case delivered on 14-2-2003. The SC is very clear with regard to he continuance of a person beyond six months as a minister which the Court said is unconstitutional. The Governor of Telangana, as the custodian of the constitution, has violated not only the constitutional provison but also judgement of Hon’ble Supreme Court, which is unpardonable”.
He urged union home minister to relieve the Governor immediately of his responsibilities as he as deliberately faltered and blatantly failed to discharge his duties.
Sashidhar Reddy was the former MLA of Sanathnagar which is now represented Talasani Srinivas Yadav.
