New Delhi/Hyderabad: Amid claims and counterclaims that the Congress high command will make a forward movement on the vexed Telangana issue by the end of this week,elected representatives from both the regions have begun descending on New Delhi.While the Telangana MPs and MLAs want to clear the air for themselves as to whether there really is going to be any positive announcement on the separate state demand,their Seemandhra counterparts are in the national capital in order to nip in the bud any such moves by the Congress. AICC general secretary Ghulam Nabi Azad called on Congress president Sonia Gandhi on Monday and among other things,discussed the Telangana issue, party sources said. Azad informed Sonia about the arrival of Congress leaders from both the regions and the resolve of T-JAC to stick to its proposed Chalo Hyderabad march on September 30.Similarly, he briefed her about state governments efforts to ensure the smooth conduct of the global biodiversity convention scheduled to commence in Hyderabad from October 1, the sources said.Along with the T-issue, Azad also discussed the restructuring of party in the state,they added. The Congress Working Committee chaired by Sonia is slated to meet on Tuesday morning,and the sources indicated that a discussion and possible solution on Telangana is among the issues on top of the agenda.
In a day of hectic parleys on T issue, a few Seemandhra MPs & leaders held a meeting in New Delhi on Monday at the residence of Eluru MP Kavuri Sambasiva Rao. Apart from Kavuri, the meeting was attended by fellow MPs Lagadapati Rajagopal, Ananta Venkatarami Reddy, JD Seelam, and state education minister S Sailajanath. Sailajanath told TOI that he is in Delhi to ascertain the veracity of the reports that the high command was finalizing the programme to create a separate Telangana state.
More MPs are expected to join them in a couple of days and a large contingent of Seemandhra MLAs are also planning to land in Delhi next week in order to put pressure on high command to postpone the T-decision, if any, by the high command.

T-MPs launch counter moves
Hyderabad: Talking to the media after the meeting,Sailajanath said he would meet the senior leaders in Delhi to brief them about the feelings in the Seemandhra region.If there is any movement in the direction of T-formation,all the party MLAs and MLCs would come to Delhi to discuss the same with the leadership, he said.He,however,expressed the hope that Congress high command would not take any irresponsible decision. Meanwhile, in Hydbad, minutes after they got to know that Seemandhra leaders held a meeting in Delhi, a group of Telangana MPs went into a huddled at the residence of former Rajya Sabha MP K Keshava Rao and after discussing the Telangana issue, airdashed to Delhi in order to counter the moves of their regional counterparts and find out for themselves whether there is going to be any positive announcement on the separate state demand.
The MPs who met at KKs residence comprised Madhu Yaskhi Goud,Manda Jagannatham, G Vivek and S Rajaiah. Sources said more MPs from the region are expected to follow these members to New Delhi on Tuesday and Wednesday. After their meeting and before leaving for Delhi, the 4 MPs asked the Seemandhra Congress leaders not to attempt to scuttle the T-process in any manner. If Seemandh-ra leaders do not desist from their anti-T activities,they will have to face severe consequences, they warned. Meanwhile,T-JAC and other outfits continued with their preparations for the Chalo Hydbad march on September 30 and said that September 27 is the deadline for any announcement by Centre. If no such announcement is forthcoming by that date,then the September 30 siege of Hyderabad will not be a one-day affair,and end only when Telangana is granted, they said on Monday.
