Telangana note sparks off tension across Seemandhra regions
Hyderabad: Congress leaders from coastal Andhra and Rayalaseema regions went into a tizzy, sparked off by conflicting reports from New Delhi, that the ‘note' on Telangana would be discussed by the Union Cabinet today evening,
The AP Chief Minister, however, tried to pacify them by dismissing reports about the ‘T note' and advised legislators against taking hasty decisions like resignation.
“We have to stay in our posts to defeat the resolution in the AP state Assembly. We have to fight till the end,” he reportedly told them.
Congress MPs Lagadapati Rajagopal, Undavalli Arun Kumar, G Harsha Kumar, 13 ministers and over 30 legislators were among those who met the AP Chief Minister.
Earlier in the day, Union Minister of State for IT and Communications Killi Kruparani also had a meeting with the AP CM over the Telangana statehood issue.
