Speaking to reporters after the Parliamentary Party meeting, Chaired by Party President YS Jagan Mohan Reddy here today, Party MP Mekapati Rajamohan Reddy said ‘ there are many loopholes which are being exploited by vested interests and we will demand that the power to disqualify defectors should be vested with the Election Commission of India and not the Speaker.’ 'Twenty MLAs and 3 MPs have defected from our Party but no action was taken and they continue to be law makers of a different party from which they were not elected'. This system should be checked to save democracy and we will press for amendment to the Act which gives more teeth enabling serious action to be taken within three months.Please log in to get detailed story.Tags: #YSRCP to highlight defections# spl. status# corruption in Parliament
