TRS chief urges Centre to announce process for Telangana by Monday | Telangana Rashtriya Samithi (TRS) President K Chandrasekhar Rao has asked the Central Government
to announce the commencement of the process for carving out a Telangana state by Monday. Speaking at the Telangana Joint Action Committee meeting here last
evening, Rao said: "The Central Government to announce the commencement of
process
for carving out Telangana state by Monday. If the Centre does not respond to our
demand, indefinite shutdown will be called there after. He also called on Andhra
Pradesh Chief Minister K. Rosaiah to step down as he had lost the moral right
to continue after resignation of all ministers belonging to the Telangana region.
Meanwhile, all 13 ministers from the Telangana region have jointly sent a letter
to Congress Party President Sonia Gandhi, appealing to her and the Centre to
announce
a clear time frame for carving out a Telangana state. Earlier, cutting across
party lines, sixty-one MLAs belonging to the Telangana region submitted their
resignations to the Andhra Pradesh Assembly Speaker N Kiran Kumar Reddy in
protest
against a delay in the process for the formation of the Telangana State. Union
Home Minister P Chidambaram had made a brief statement last on Wednesday night
saying wide ranging consultations would be held to come out with a final solution
on Telangana. Displeased over Chidambaram's statements, the MPs met at the
Andhra
Bhavan on Thursday to decide upon their strategy. Chidambaram had earlier on
December
9 assured the people belonging to the Telangana region that talks are on for the
formation of the Telangana state. On Thursday, Andhra Pradesh was on the boil
after the Central Government put on hold its decision to initiate the process
for the formation of the Telangana State. In response, the TRS had called for
a 48-hour shutdown beginning Thursday. The shutdown was later called off due to
Christmas. |
