TELANGANA-CONGRESS

Jana Reddy's statement prompted other senior Congress
leaders from the region to launch an attack on the JAC itself
saying a conspiracy was being hatched against the Rosaiah
government.

"How will the resignations be a solution to the problem,
at a time the process for creation of a separate state has
begun," Government chief whip Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka said.
He said Telangana state could become a reality only if
there were stable governments at the Centre and in the state.
Some Congress MPs, MLAs and MLCs met here to discuss the
resignations issue even as the party high command sent clear a
directive asking them to withdraw their papers at once.
Andhra Pradesh Congress Committee president D Srinivas
called the MLAs, who are taking an active part in the
Telangana Political Joint Action Committee, and reportedly
conveyed the high command's directive.
Of the total 52 Congress MLAs in the region, about 25
have submitted their resignation letters to Assembly Speaker N
Kiran Kumar Reddy but they were yet to be accepted. Another 10
MLCs have also put in their papers.
Senior MLA R Damodar Reddy who is taking an active part
in the JAC, however, asserted that they were firm on their
resignations.
"We will meet again on January 17 to take a further
decision in this regard. The January 28 deadline the Joint
Action Committee set for the Centre to come out with a
concrete decision on granting statehood to Telangana holds
good. There is no question of going back on it," Reddy said.
