2NDLDALL TELANGANA TWO

Seeking to justify its stand on creation of Telangana
state, government said "one-sided" decisions cannot be taken
as consensus was required on the issue.
Information and Broadcasting Minister of India Ambika
Soni expressed confidence that people will "accept it" after
some time.
"Any important decision is taken with everybody's
consent, after consultations with everybody. And this is what
was felt by the government over the last few days that it is
not possible at times to implement a one-sided decision all of
a sudden," she said.
She was responding to a question why the process of
creation of Telangana has been put on hold.
Citing the situation in Andhra Pradesh, Soni said the
Centre wants to take any decision "after proper consensus
building".
Home Minister of India P Chidambaram Wednesday night
announced that situation in Andhra Pradesh had "altered" since
the decision on creation of Telangana.
Congress also said there was no need for any precipitate
action on the part of its MPs in the wake of the Home
Minister's announcement on Telangana.
"Only wide consultations have been called for that
alone will ensure an abiding result acceptable to all
sections", party spokesman Abhishek Singhvi said. (More) PTI
