Congress leaders mulling next move

HYDERABAD: Stumped by the rejection of their mass resignations by Andhra Pradesh Speaker, Telangana Congress leaders are mulling their next course of action, while their TDP counterparts said they are ready to put in their papers again. “The steering committee of Telangana Congress leaders would meet in Delhi and take a collective decision on our future course of action,” Congress MP Manda Jagannath told reporters. He was speaking after a meeting of the Telangana Congress MPs, MLAs and also ministers at the residence of state Panchayati Raj Minister K Jana Reddy here. Congress MLA Jupally Krishna Rao, however, said they did not submit resignations in a fit of emotion but did so conscientiously after exhausting all options. With some MLAs reportedly not in favour of resigning again, Telangana Congress leaders are said to be contemplating submitting their resignations to the party leadership in Delhi.(PTI)
