New Delhi:In Telangana, the appointment of AIMIM MLA Akbaruddin Owaisi as Protem speaker sparked a row after BJP MLAs not only opposed the move but refused to take oath under his chair. Firebrand BJP MLA T Raja Singh said that party MLAs won’t take oath by Owaisi.
Telangana BJP chief G Kishan Reddy said that the election of new speaker should not happen under Owaisi.”Can I take oath in front of a person (Akbaruddin Owaisi) who made anti-Hindu comments in the past,” asked Singh who won from the Goshmahal assembly seat. He further said, “Our MLAs will take oath after a Speaker is appointed. We will never ally with such a party (AIMIM). We will go to the Governor on this.”
