The BRS is gearing up for a legal battle seeking the disqualification of MLAs, who defected to the ruling Congress, with party working president KT Rama Rao announcing plans to file a case in the Supreme Court.

He exuded confidence that either the Telangana High Court or the Supreme Court might give necessary directions on the issue within a month, making by-elections inevitable in Telangana. “The defected MLAs will be made accountable for their actions in the public arena, during the bypolls,” he asserted, following a meeting with legal and constitutional experts in Delhi on Monday.
