State Cong politicians in Delhi to discuss Telangana

The Congress’s central leadership has summoned Andhra Pradesh party unit’s chief Botsa Sathyanarayana to Delhi [ Images ] to discuss the Telangana issue. Botsa is expected to discuss the demand for creation of Telangana with the party’s top leaders today.

The Congress is working out a package for Telangana to ensure that party leaders are on a strong footing when the Andhra Pradesh legislative assembly starts another session in December. Telangana will be a major issue for the Congress as losing more party legislators, who have been resigning to press for the creation of a separate state, may prove to be fatal. Sources in Andhra Pradesh Congress say that they are hopeful that the party will take a concrete decision on the issue, but they are not sure what the central leadership is planning.

Pro-Telangana activists fear that an announcement for a separate state will not be made anytime soon. But they are expecting at least a package for the region from the Centre. Meanwhile, protests to demand Telangana are currently on standstill, as activists want to see what the Centre can offer them.

“We will await the outcome of the discussions in Delhi today. Although many of us will be happy with a package, the fight will continue till a separate state is granted,” said one of them.
