Telangana resolution difficult: Rosaiah

Hyderabad, Dec 12 (PTI) Battling the backlash against
creation of Telangana, Congress Saturday appeared to backpedal
the move with Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister K Rosaiah
expressing his inability to take the first step--that of
moving a state Assembly resolution.
Making it clear that passage of the resolution was
fraught with hurdles, he said it would be difficult to get the
resolution passed by the legislature if it was moved in the
current session.
"I can't assure you that the resolution will be passed
because the number is most important. Cutting across party
lines, the agitation will take a turn," he said.
Expressing "astonishment, surprise and anguish" over
Home Minister P Chidambaram's Wednesday night statement on
creation of Telangana, the Chief Minister said to move a
resolution and to pass it would be difficult and he had
expressed his fears to the Congress leadership.
The statement has created a sort of flutter among the
youth of coastal areas and Rayalaseema starting from
Srikakulam upto Tirupati and Kadap, he said.
Meanwhile, as many as 20 ministers hailing from
coastal Andhra and Rayalaseema regions are planning to resign
from their posts en masse. (More) PTI
