Bharat Rashtra Samithi working president K.T. Rama Rao welcomed the verdict, declaring that justice had prevailed. KTR stated on social media that other legislators who defected from BRS to the Congress party will face a similar disqualification. Nagender had previously switched political allegiances following assembly elections. The court ruling sets a significant legal precedent for ongoing defection petitions within the state legislature.
