KCR and Raja Singh Not Coming!

Former CM KCR, who is undergoing treatment at the hospital, is unlikely to attend the swearing-in ceremony. Also, Rajasingh, who won as BJP MLA from Goshamahal, made it clear that he would not take oath if AIMIM MLA Akbaruddin was appointed as Pro-tem Speaker. He said that he would take oath only after the full-time Speaker of the Assembly is elected. In 2018 too, Rajasingh announced the same when AIMIM MLA Mumtaz Khan acted as the pro-tem speaker. Only after Pocharam Srinivas Reddy became the full speaker of the assembly, he took charge as an MLA.
