Union Petroleum and Natural Gas Minister Jaipal Reddy, the MP from Telangana met Prime Minister Manmohan Singh here to discuss the ongoing Telangana crisis. After a 40-minute meeting with the PM, Reddy told reporters, “I shared my assessment about Telangana with the PM objectively.”
However, sources said Reddy pressed the PM for a separate statehood for Telangana. “There is no alternative and people can’t accept any other package,” Reddy reportedly told the PM, as quoted by sources.
Manmohan Singh, Sonia Gandhi and other members of the Congress party’s Core Committee huddled in a meeting on July 6 trying to come up with a solution to the Telangana impasse in Andhra Pradesh.
The meeting came after widespread unrest in Andhra Pradesh and mass resignations of about a hundred legislators from the region — half of them from the state’s ruling Congress party — over the demand of statehood for the Telangana region.
