HYDERABAD : Twenty Congress MLAs of Telangana met at the Gandhi Bhavan on Friday in the backdrop of a large number of party legislators from the Andhra region submitting a memorandum to Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy to keep in abeyance implementation of GO 610.

The Telangana MLAs requested the Government to implement the GO in toto. They wanted a cell headed by an officer -- having no links with either region -- to be constituted in the Secretariat to monitor the implementation.

AP Congress Committee president K. Keshava Rao who presided over the meeting later said that they did not have objection to creation of supernumerary posts for the purpose of repatriation of employees as part of implementation of the order. Dr. Keshava Rao said it was decided to engage an advocate to argue on their behalf in the case relating to GO 610 in the High Court. A decision was also taken to meet Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and AICC president Sonia Gandhi to seek a Rs. 20,000 crore package for the development of Telangana.

The meeting resolved to ignore the Telangana plank of BJP.
