Hyderabad: Three
legislators of Andhra Pradesh's ruling Congress party from
Telangana region Monday submitted their resignations, hours before
Congress and Telugu Desam Party (TDP) legislators are to quit
enmasse for a separate state.
Vishnuvardhan Reddy, one of the legislators from Hyderabad,
submitted his resignation to Deputy Speaker Mallu Bhatti
Vikramarka as Speaker N. Manohar is in the US. He became the first
Congress legislator to quit.
Four rebel legislators of TDP had sent their resignations to the
speaker's office Sunday from their hunger strike camp.
Rebel Congress legislator Konda Surekha has also submitted her
resignation while another Congress legislator, G. Venkat Ram
Reddy, faxed his resignation from the US.
Ministers from Telangana have sought an appointment with Governor
E.S.L. Narasimhan to submit their resignations. They along with
the legislators met at the residence of Panchayat Raj Minister
Jana Reddy before leaving for the assembly to resign.
Reacting to reports that the central leadership invited them to
Delhi for talks, minister K. Venkat Ramreddy told reporters that
there was no question of going to the capital unless the centrd
agreed to form a separate state.
"We have already made it clear that our visit last month was the
last visit to Delhi for talks," he said.
Nine MPs of Congress have reached Delhi to submit their
resignations to Lok Sabha Speaker Meira Kumar.
TDP legislators reached the assembly building much in advance to
hold a meeting to chalk out their strategy. They are likely to
resign enmass after Congress legislators submit their papers.
Police have made elaborate security arrangements around the
assembly building.
