DK Aruna demands Telangana Speaker to declare her as Gadwal MLA

The BJP National vice President and former minister DK Aruna addressing the press meet at the Assembly premises that, The Orders should implemented immediately and iam going to submit the certified copy of the honorable Telangana high court orders declaring me as the Gadwal MLA to the speaker.

But he didnt respond to my phone and I have tried to give it to the Assembly secretary who was supposed to be at the office every day, surprisingly he didnt come to the office today, hence have submitted the order copies to the Additional Secretary.

She added that due to the delay in the court verdict ,the time to develop my constituency has already been wasted.Hence the speaker of the assembly and the state government should be responded and respected the orders of the honorable Telangana State High Court and implement them on a war footing.

Recently the Telangana High Court ruled the election of BRS MLA Bandla Krishna Mohan Reddy from the Gadwal Assembly constituency as invalid and declared BJP leader DK Aruna, who is incidentally his aunt, as the MLA in his place.In the 2018 Assembly elections, Aruna had contested on a Congress ticket but eventually lost to her nephew and the BRS (then TRS) candidate Krishna Mohan Reddy by a margin of around 28,000 votes.

Subsequently, she filed an election petition demanding instructions to the Returning Officer to appropriately assess the paper trail of votes.This came after an election agent had flagged the Electronic Voting Machine (EVM) records and the Voter-Verified Paper Audit Trails (VVPATs).

Justice Vinod Kumar clarified that as per the final list of votes, the petitioner Aruna, who had the second highest number of votes, will now be recognised as the victorious candidate for the Gadwal constituency.This declaration takes effect from December 12, 2018.
