TDP to take more time to decide on Telangana issue

G. Narasimha Rao

Five-member core committee of the party holds three-hour discussion



Chandrababu Naidu

DEVUPALLI (Vizianagaram dist.): The Telugu Desam Party would wait for some more time to make public its final decision on the demand for a separate State of Telangana.

This was what TDP president N. Chandrababu Naidu said after the five-member core committee of the party discussed the issue for more than three hours under his chairmanship here on Wednesday. The committee would meet again twice or thrice before coming to a decision. “We have said during byelections that we were not against Telangana. It is a delicate issue and a decision can’t be taken immediately. A state-wide discussion is needed. The five-member core committee is the highest body and is discussing the issue,” Mr. Naidu said at a press conference after the core committee meeting concluded. Committee members T. Devender Goud, K. Yerran Naidu, Nagam Janardhan Reddy, Yanamala Ramakrishnudu and K.E. Krishna Murthy were also present.

The core committee discussed many issues and deliberated on the prevailing situation, he said but felt it was not proper to reveal them. Clarity was also needed before deciding on some issues before (the coming) elections. The party was continuously getting feedback and the core committee meeting had also discussed issues such as how the Congress and the Telangana Rashtra Samiti had deceived the people on the issue. Mr. Naidu blamed the Congress for supporting Telangana during the elections to have an alliance with the TRS and talking in a different manner after coming to power. The party would meet its cadre and leaders and also public.

‘Not proper’

At the outset, he said it was not proper on the part of some television news channels to run scrolling on the meeting, like Mr. Goud stressing on the point that the party should declare its support for a separate State of Telangana.
