A clear resolution on the status of Hydbad and sharing of the water resources among 3 regions must be arrived at first before a decision is taken on T. This is what chief minister Kiran Kumar Reddy reportedly conveyed to the Congress high command during his discussions with them during the last 2 days. On Tuesday,the CM met PM Manmohan Singh, HM Sushilkumar Shinde and senior leader Vayalar Ravi. Kiran Kumar had met Congress chief Sonia Gandhi and AICC Gen Secy Ghulam Nabi Azad among others on Monday. These talks are being touted as the final round of consultations on the T issue and other leaders including Guv ESL Narasimhan and PCC chief Botsa Satyanarayana are likely to be summoned in the coming days, sources said.
But it became clear that Congress is nowhere near finding a solution to the vexed T issue. The high command leaders are still speaking of options like granting separate state or constituting T territorial council. By this, it becomes clear that they still have not been able to assess as to what is the thinking among the people of 3 regions on the separate state demand and granting of what would revive the electoral fortunes of the Congress in the state, said the sources. It was in this context that CM told Sonia and the other leaders that a decision on T and sharing of water resources should be taken first before going into the issues of whether to grant a separate state or form a council with limited finan-cial powers and autonomy. The people of R/seema and Andhra regions are very concerned as to what would be the status of Hyderabad in the new scenario and how the water resources would be shared. Any decision on Twithout addressing these two issues can lead to disastrous consequences for the region as well as the state, the sources quoted the CM as telling the party president.
The pro-Tparties including the TRS and BJP are agreeable for Hyderabad to remain a joint capital for the two states for a limited period of time,but the Seemandhra leaders want Hyderabad to be kept out of the new Telangana state.On the issue of sharing of water resources,especially the Krishna and Godavari waters, there has been no discussions or demands put forth as yet by the respective regions.
The Congress high command also held talks with former chief minister and TN Guv K Rosaiah on the Telangana issue on Monday.Kiran Kumar returned to Hyderabad from Delhi on Tuesday night and a confused Congress leadership is slated to continue talks with other leaders from the state in order to find a solution to the Telangana tangle.
Botsa is expected to reach Delhi in a day or two. He was expected in the Capital on Tuesday itself, but the absence of Ghulam Nabi Azad is said to have delayed his trip. Similarly,Guv Narasimhan is to land here on February 9. Though Narasimhan is visiting Delhi in connection with the governors conference on February 10 and 11, he is also likely to give inputs to the UPA leadership on T issue.
DELHI DILEMMA
Congress leadership still toying with the idea of T-territorial council, Sharing of Godavari, Krishna
waters among the 3 regions remains a thorny issue. Seemandhra people concerned about the status of Hyderabad .
