Hyderabad Today News : Telangana MPs are still in discussions about their resignations. Senior Congress leader K Kesavarao stated that they will continuously be pressurising the High command till Telangana is announced. Telangana MPs once again assembled in KKs house on Thursday to discuss on resignations.
KK spoke to press after the meet and said... Chakos statement is satisfactory. But, we are still stuck to resignations. We do not have differances amongst us. Seven Mps have sent resignations to Sonia and MPs are will in no way take back their decision.
He also said Madhu Yashkis comments are his personal. But Madhu Yashki going back on resignation is become a talk now. But he said it doesnt mean he is not dedicated and reminded of him opposing YSR for Telangana.
Seven Congress MPs from the Telangana region of Andhra Pradesh on Tuesday put off their decision to forward their resignation -- both from Lok Sabha and the party -- by a day as they reportedly could not iron out differences among themselves on the issue.
They, however, told reporters this afternoon that they would go ahead with their move and reach New Delhi tomorrow to submit their resignations to Congress chief Sonia Gandhi.
The MPs said they received a call from Congress leader and Union minister Vayalar Raviasking them to come to the national capital to discuss the Telangana issue.
Congress MPs from Telangana have threatened to send their resignations to Speaker Meira Kumar if urgent steps were not taken for formation of a separate state. It was our collective decision to resign. Seven of us, including Madhu Goud Yakshi, who later said there was no need to resign, had signed this letter after a thorough discussion on the issue for two days, one of the signatories, Sukhender Reddy, told PTI.
We will continue with our protest and send resignation to Speaker as well, if a decision is not taken for creation of Telangana, Reddy said. The remarks came a day after seven party MPs Manda Jagannatam, Ponnam Prabhakar, S Rajaiah, Vivek Reddy, Sukhender Reddy, Rajgopal Reddy and Nizamabad MP Madhu Goud Yaskhi submitted a joint resignation letter to Congress president Sonia Gandhi.
However, after party spokesperson P C Chackos statement that Congress was not against the creation of Telangana and that its only a question of time when the decision will be announced, Yakshi yesterday told reporters that he did not see any need for resignation after Chackos statement.
I dont think there is any need for resignation now. Chackos statement is clear, Yaskhi, one of those at the forefront of the agitation for a separate state, said. Rajaiah, however, said there was no question of a compromise on Telangana statehood issue and a compromise can happen only if a positive roadmap is given for its creation.
He said the decision to resign was taken after two days of deliberations among the MPs at Warangal. Asked about Yakshis statement, he said that it must be an afterthought as the MP had also signed the resignation letter earlier.
Both Sukhender Reddy and Rajaiah at the same time said that Yakshi was free to take his own decision in the matter. In the letter to Gandhi, the MPs had drawn the attention of the party leadership towards the critical situation in the region and contiuning suicides, and said it would be difficult for them to continue in the party in such a situation.
