New Delhi: The resignations of TRS chief K
Chandrasekhara Rao and party MP Vijayashanti from Lok Sabha
are unlikely to be accepted as they are not in order.
"These resignations are not in format. So there was no
action," Lok Sabha Speaker Meira Kumar said when asked about
the status of the resignation of Rao who quit the membership
in the wake of the Telengana issue.
Rao and cinestar-turned-politician Vijayashanti had faxed
their resignations to the Speaker on December 23 after the
government decided to put the issue of the separate state on
the backburner saying there was need for wide-ranging
discussions on the matter.
Asked about the resignation of Congress MP L Rajagopal on
the same issue, Kumar said the member from Vijayawada had
withdrawn his resignation.
To a question on reallocation of seat for BJP leader L
K Advani since he stepped down as Leader of Opposition in Lok
Sabha in favour of Sushma Swaraj, the Speaker said seating
arrangements for Advani have been made.
