Hyderabad, TPCC Election commission Coordination Committee convener Marri Shashidhar Reddy has alleged that the TRS government expelled Congress MLAs—Komatireddy Venkat Reddy and SA Sampath Kumar from their Assembly membership, unethically by acting against the constitution. The government dismissed the two MLAs without any reason, he said and informed the Election Commission that the Assembly secretary was acting as Rajya Sabha elections returning officer.

Speaking to the media after submitting memorandum to the Election Commission on Wednesday, Marri urged the Election Commission to include two expelled MLAs names in the voter list. The Congress also urged the Election Commission to remove the Assembly secretary from the responsibilities of returning officer.
