Reiterating that the Congress was committed for the formation of Telangana State and constitution of second SRC, he said that the Telangana Rashtra Samiti leaders had also agreed for the second SRC on Telangana before forging an alliance during the 2004 elections.

He also assured that AICC president Sonia Gandhi would take a decision on the formation of Telangana at an appropriate time.
