T-Cong MPs Tired Of Party, Might Shift Base

With just four days to the Telangana all-party meeting, the Congress party's ambiguity on the issue is getting the goat of Congress MPs from the Telangana region. While on one hand, the popularity of the Telagana movement is making the decision for Telangana necessary, on the other, politicians fear the reaction of Seemandhra activists.

In such an atmosphere, we have no option but to jump off of the Congress brigade in case it keeps up with the dilly-dallying, say T-Cong MPs. According to sources, Telangana Rashtra Samithi is waiting with open arms for them in the case of such an eventuality.

Adding to the impatience of T-Cong MPs is Congress MP K Keshav Rao coming out and saying that it doesn't look like the Congress-led UPA govt. has any intention of giving in to the demand for Telangana.

Everything depends on the results of the all-party meeting scheduled to be on the 24th, said Keshav Rao, adding that, in case there is no clarity on the issue even during the meeting, the Congress MPs from Telanga would give the government another week to come around. If there is no progress on the issue by that time, they would have no choice but to move away from Congress, he reiterated.

He also said that, in case the later was to happen, ties with TRS are not out of the question.
