Congress to postpone Telangana issue

Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy was seen defending his stand when presenting his views about Telangana to Sonia Gandhi and Manmohan Singh.

The Congress high command, it seems, had asked YSR to clarify his stand on Telangana because almost all other parties in the State now seem to be supporting the T issue. The high command wanted him to state how he is going to go for elections if he is undecided on Telangana.

YSR stated that feelings of other regions must also be considered first before going ahead. He also mentioned that a States Reorganization Committee may become imminent in the long run. However, for the present he is confident he can delay this issue for some more time. He stated that as of now, there is no hurry for them. The Elections in other parts of the Country in the coming months will not affect the Elections in Andhra Pradesh, was what YSR felt.

It is clear that YSR is still riding on the wave of his policies. The sentiments of people may change if the Congress loses in other states in the coming elections.
