Hyderabad: After Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (MIM) Monday withdrew support to the
Congress government in Andhra Pradesh, the ruling party has
decided to hold talks with its ally to persuade it to reconsider
its decision.
MIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi, however, ruled out the possibility of
his party reconsidering its decision. "Once we take a decision, we
don't go back on it," he said.
Facing a possible crisis due to the MIM's move, Chief Minister N.
Kiran Kumar Reddy held an emergency meeting of his cabinet in the
evening to discuss the political situation.
As many as 24 ministers including state Congress chief Botsa
Satyanarayana attended the meeting. The chief minister briefed
them about the stand taken by the government on Bhagyalakshmi
temple abutting Charminar.
The MIM withdrew support while accusing the chief minister of
allowing construction of a canopy over the temple structure in
violation of court orders to maintain status quo.
Satyanarayana told reporters after the meeting that it was decided
to hold talks with the MIM.
He said the MIM had only expressed its views and hoped that the
issues would be sorted out. He said the government had acted as
per the law and had done nothing to hurt sentiments of any
community.
Hectic political activity was also seen in the camps of other
major parties. Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) chief K.
Chandrasekhara Rao took stock of the situation with some members
of party politburo and other top leaders in Hyderabad.
Leaders of main opposition Telugu Desam Party (TDP) also discussed
the latest political developments.
Party MP Nama Nageswara Rao said the party would take a decision
after discussing the idea of moving a no-confidence motion against
the government. He said the government might fall any time and
claimed that the TDP was ready to face elections.
