The Congress leaders from Telangana region will personally meet each member of the Congress Working Committee seeking their support for the formation of a separate Telangana state.
Talking to reporters at the Secretariat, Jana Reddy said that each member of the CWC will be requested to support the demand for statehood for Telangana, and to take a favourable decision during their meeting scheduled early next month. He hoped that the CWC will take a favourable decision in granting statehood for the region.
Jana Reddy also condemned the leakage of information about the
Congress Core Committee meeting which was held in New Delhi on July 12 over the Telangana issue. He said that the information was deliberately leaked and was aimed at damaging the Telangana cause.
Jana Reddy also said that those who leaked the information were actually damaging the party's image among the public.
Earlier in the day, senior Congress leaders, including MPs Palvai Govardhan Reddy, Anand Bhaskar, Ponnam Prabhakar, V Hanumantha Rao and Rajaiah, met Jana Reddy at his residence and discussed the strategy that the CWC was thinking of adopting in its meeting. (INN)
