German Citizen Ex-BRS MLA Draws Pension Despite Court Ruling

• Telangana High Court declared ex-BRS MLA Chennamaneni Ramesh a German citizen in Dec 2024, fining him Rs 30 lakh for concealing this during elections.
• Despite the ruling, Ramesh continues to receive a Rs 60,000 monthly pension from the Telangana assembly as a former MLA.
• Congress MLA Adi Srinivas argues Ramesh is ineligible for benefits as a German citizen and demands recovery of past emoluments.
• Srinivas has appealed to the assembly secretary and threatens further High Court action if the pension isn't stopped.
• Former advocate general K Rama Krishna Reddy states the assembly speaker, not the secretary, decides on Ramesh's pension entitlement.
