PVR asks T-Cong MPs Not To Leave The Party

Congress MLC P Venkat Rao on Saturday requested the Telangana Congress MPs - G Vivek, M Jagannatham and Rajaiah to reverse their decision of leaving the Congress party.

Addressing a press conference at Congress Legislature Party office here, Venkat Rao said that the MPs should not expose themselves to exploitation by other political parties. He said he had personally spoke to all the three MPs and he would also take up the matter with the Congress High Command.

Admitting that the Telangana sentiments were very strong, he said that the Congress High Command should take the MPs decision very seriously. However, he said that Telangana State could not be achieved by joining other political parties. He said the MPs could pressurise the High Command by threatening to resign, but they should not quit the party. (INN)
