TDP T MLAs take the lead and resign

Taking a lead four dissident legislators of TDP Sunday sent their resignations to the assembly speaker. N Janardhan Reddy, Harishwar Reddy, Venugopala Chary and Jogu Ramana sent the resignations from their hunger strike camp. The TDP leaders began a fast here, demanding unity among all parties and leaders fighting for separate state.

TDP legislators held a separate meeting to chalk out their strategy. TDP Telangana forum convenor E Dayakar Rao told reporters that they would submit their resignations only after their counterparts from the Congress. He also demanded that legislators of all parties should resign. “The resignations should not be for another by-election but to force the central and state governments to accept the demand for separate state,” he said.

Meanwhile, an indefinite hunger strike by a group of students of Kaktiya University in Warangal entered fourth day Sunday. They are demanding resignations of all public representatives of Telangana for separate state. It is still not clear how many of the 12 Lok Sabha members and 50 legislators of Congress party from Telangana will quit Monday.

TDP has 37 legislators from Telangana in the 294-member assembly while its two Lok Sabha members from the region have not yet decided on resignations. The Telangana region accounts for 119 assembly seats and 17 out of 42 Lok Sabha seats in the state.
