HYDERABAD: With the Telangana Congress leaders building pressure on the party leadership to expedite the statehood issue, their counterparts from Seemandhra region have decided to pay a visit to New Delhi to persuade the All India Congress Committee (AICC) to drop any move to bifurcate the State.
The AP Congress Legislators Forum convenor and Minister S. Sailajanath said informal meetings were on among the party MLAs and MLCs from the region and Seemandhra leaders were firm that the State should be united. “We have sought the appointment of Central leaders. Once that is confirmed, Ministers and legislators will go to Delhi and explain the present scenario,” he told reporters here on Thursday. The Minister sent SMS messages to the party legislators from the Seemandhra region to be ready to visit Delhi to apprise the high command about the latest political situation.
Congress leaders from the region feel that delaying tactics of the Centre was causing tension in the State. “Why should the State continue to delay a decision on the statehood issue? When the Telangana leaders putting pressure on the party leadership, why should we keep quiet,” a senior Congress legislator observed.
