Congress meeting on Telangana in Delhi

The issue of Telangana is expected to figure at the meeting of the Congress top brass, including Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and party chief Sonia Gandhi, in Delhi on Friday.

The meeting is being held at a time when Congress ministers from Rayalaseema and coastal Andhra have already reached the nation's capital to pursue the united Andhra Pradesh cause.
Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy, state Congress chief Botsa Satyanarayana and Deputy Chief Minister C Damodar Raja Narasimha are also expected to reach anytine soon.
The Congress Core Group had discussed the Telangana issue earlier this month and decided to refer the long-pending matter to the Congress Working Committee for a final view.
Reports said the Congress Working Committee, the party's highest decision-making body, is likely to meet soon. Meanwhile, amid talk that Congress leadership may take a decision in favour of separate Telangana, a ruling Congress MLA and two YSR Congress legislators from non-Telangana regions on Thursday said in Hyderabad that they have resigned from their posts in support of the united Andhra Pradesh cause.
