Andhra Pradesh Assembly Speaker N. Kiran Kumar Reddy said he would take a decision on the resignation of several MLAs in accordance with the Constitutional provisions and rules of the legislature.
“There are three important things to be examined before a resignation is accepted. Primarily the resignation should be in a prescribed format under Rule 186 (1). I have to verify the genuineness of the resignation and ascertain whether or not the resignation has been submitted voluntarily.
“It’s totally the Speaker’s discretion whether or not to accept the resignation,” the Speaker told a meet-the-press programme here.
Reddy made these observations minutes before he received a fresh set of resignation letters from 15 MLAs on the Telangana issue.
Earlier this month, the Speaker had rejected the resignation of 129 MLAs as they were “not in the prescribed format.”
