Parties maintain their stance ahead of meeting on Telangana

New Delhi: The scene of struggle for Telangana now shifts to Delhi even as ones advocating for the new state as well as ones opposing it have been coming to the capital city of India. The central government has summoned this all crucial meeting that is supposed to chart the roadmap for the creation of the new state. The meeting is supposed to be chaired by the Union Home Minister P Chidambaram. Interestingly enough both Congress and Telugu Desam Party have been linking up with the anti and pro Telangana factions.

It is expected that the home minister would be proposing a committee for forming the state. It is yet to be seen if this committee would be able to address the differences between the two warring factions. It is also being assumed that K Chandrasekhar Rao, the flag bearer of Telangana, would be vying for a resolution to grant statehood to the same in the meeting.

The Telugu Desam Party has asked the central government to come clear on its stance regarding Telangana, all the while acknowledging the fact that there is a significant amount of public opinion against Telangana itself.

The Praja Rajyam Party of Chiranjeevi is against division of the state while Congress has acknowledged the immense support for the state as evident from the opinion of Congressman Hanumanth Rao. The Indian government on its part wants to set up a certain sort of mechanism in order to go ahead with things in a proper and constructive manner. It also wants some time so that the fraying tempers could cool down.
