HYDERABAD/NEW DELHI: In a bid
to mount pressure on the Centre
for an early decision on separate
Telangana, 37 ruling Congress
MLAs, including four ministers,
and 28 TDP MLAs from the region
today resigned their membership
of the Andhra Pradesh assembly.
In Delhi, seven Congress MPs,
who had planned to resign from
the Lok Sabha, did not keep their
scheduled meeting with Speaker
Meira Kumar who waited for
some time before leaving her
chamber. Now, she has given
them time at 5:30 pm.
Four Andhra Pradesh ministers K
Jana Reddy, JGeeta Reddy,
Ponnala Lakshmaiah and
Komatireddy Venkat Reddy
submitted resignations from the
membership of state Assembly
today demanding immediate
creation of Telangana state.
They submitted their
resignations to Assembly Deputy
Speaker at 12 noon.
The resignations are intended to
get the Centre take a decision on
creation of separate Telanagana
state over which it had
appointed a committee that had
given its report last year.
The Congress has 50 MLAs from
the region in the 294-member
assembly.
As many as 28 Telugu Desam
Party MLAs from Telangana
submitted resignation from their
posts demanding creation of a
separate state.
Three Congress MLAs, including a
rebel, too submitted their
resignations on the same issue.
The TDP legislators met Andhra
Pradesh Assembly Deputy
Speaker Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka
and submitted their resignations
en masse.
