Amaravati, Dec 19 (UNI) YSRCP leader M Thippe Swamy, who unsuccessfully contested from Madkasir (SC) Assembly constituency in Ananthapur district in 2014 election and won legal battle, took oath as MLA on Wednesday.
Assembly Speaker Kodela Shiva Prasad Rao administered oath with Thippe Swamy. He was defeated by TDP candidate K Eeranna in the 2014 Assembly elections.
However, Mr Swamy approached High Court complaining that the TDP MLA Eeranna concealed facts in his election affidavit. The High Court in its judgement on November 28, 2018 contended that the TDP MLA Eeeranna intentionally concealed information then a criminal case was pending against him and his wife was a government servant and nullified his election.
