Bhagyanagar (Telangana) – 8 BJP MLAs did not take oath after AIMIM leader and MLA from Telangana Akbaruddin Owaisi was appointed as Caretaker Speaker (Pro-tem Speaker) of Legislative Assembly. Finally, Owaisi was removed from the post and senior Congress leader Gaddam Prasad Kumar took over as the Telangana Assembly speaker. Only then BJP MLAs attended the oath ceremony.
