Cong T MPs persist with stir

Differences in the Congress deepened on Tuesday with a section of Congress men from the Telangana region, mostly MPs, deciding to continue the pro-Telangana agitation and join activists from other parties and organisations. The Pradesh Congress Committee chief, Mr Botsa Satyanarayana, was clearly against such a move. A majority of T-ministers and MLAs stayed away from the three-hour Telangana Congress steering committee meeting which was held on Tuesday evening. The panchayati raj minister, Mr K. Jana Reddy, who is the co-chairman of the steering committee, was the only minister who attended the meeting. He declared at the end of the meeting that he will be a front-runner in the T-movement, and was even willing to sacrifice his position for the cause.
The meeting was attended by most of the Congress MPs from the region, who decided to intensify their agitation and even submit fresh resignations in order to build up the tempo of the movement. Though there was no official word on fresh resignations, the steering committee co-chairman Mr K. Kesava Rao told news persons that some key decisions were taken at the meeting which will be revealed later if necessary. Several MPs took Mr Jana Reddy to task for his public statement asking employees to call off the strike when Congress MPs and MLAs were arrested and sent to jail. Former minister Mr Komatireddy Venkata Reddy told the media that Congress leaders will continue to participate in all types of agitations organised by other parties.
