Telangana BJP MLA-elect T Raja Singh, who refused to be sworn-in in the presence of pro tem Speaker Mumtaz Ahmad Khan of the AIMIM, Saturday did so in the chamber of Speaker Pocharam Srinivasa Reddy.
"Pocharam Srinivas Reddy ji (Speaker) gave me time today. (He) gave me opportunity. I have gone to his chamber and took oath (as MLA)," Singh told reporters.
Raja Singh, MLA from Goshamahal in Hyderbaad, had earlier refused to take oath in the presence of Khan as his party AIMIM "speaks against Hindus" and its leaders do not say ' Bharat Mata ki Jai."
