Andhra Pradesh High Court today declared the election of Janardhan Datraj, as MLA of Kurupam is invalid. Kurupam is a constituency in Vijayanagaram district, which is reserved for ST community. Court gave this judgement, responding to a petition filed by Jayaraj, PRP candidate in the aforesaid constituency. However, Jayaraj later joined Telugu Desam. Jayaraj's allegation that Janardhan wrongly mentioned that he belong to ST community, was proved right in the court. High Court declared that Janardhan is not a ST candidate. Court also gave 4 weeks time to Janrdhan to appeal on this judgement.
While the supporters of Jayaraj are happy with this judgement, Janardhan said that he would respect court's orders and disclosed that he would appeal in the Supreme Court.
