Last-ditch efforts go in vain for Seemandhra leaders -No Going Back On T Promise,Sonia Tells Seemandhra Mantris

New Delhi: Hours before the start of the UPA coordination committee meeting on Tuesday, Congress president Sonia Gandhi delivered a hard blow to the Seemandhra leaders,who met her in a last-ditch effort to stall the bifurcation of the state. The team of Seemandhra leaders consisting of Union ministers V Kishore Chandra Deo,M M Pallam Raju,Kavuri Sambasiva Rao,D Purandeswari, K Chiranjeevi,Panabaka Lakshmi and J D Seelam,accompanied by many party MPs,met Sonia at 10 Janpath to impress upon her the negative fallout on the development of the state after the division.The exercise proved futile with Sonia refusing to reconsider the decision on Telangana. The Congress president told the leaders that the party could not go back on its commitment at this stage and that the decision had been arrived at after a long process of consultations.We have to keep in mind the sentiments of the people of Telangana.We have already taken a decision on the matter.This is our commitment, she is said to have told the leaders,assuring them that no harm would be done to the Seemandhra region.

Union home minister Sushilkumar Shinde expressed a similar view when the Seemandhra leaders called on him later.The Telangana demand has been pending for over 56 years.We have to address the matter without hurting the sentiments of the Seemandhra region, Shinde told them. The leaders also met Congress vicepresident Rahul Gandhi and apprised him of the apprehensions of the people of the region.However,nobody in Delhi attached much importance to their views as the decision was arrived at after prolonged consultations with leaders,parties and people of all the regions in the state.Disappointed at the response,Seemandhra leaders closeted themselves with chief minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy in Andhra Pradesh Bhavan for a long time.After the meeting,the chief minister left to meet Shinde,AICC general secretary Digvijay Singh and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
Meanwhile,in Hyderabad,ministers from the Andhra and Rayalaseema regions announced that they would meet on Wednesday to devise their strategy to face the division of the state. Investment, infrastructure and ports minister Ganta Srinivasa Rao,minor irrigation minister T G Venkatesh and law minister Erasu Pratap Reddy,said that they had already sent a letter to the party president stating that they would not hesitate to resign if the state was divided.Ganta told reporters at the Congress Legislature Party office here that the ministers would fight till the last minute to keep Andhra Pradesh united. Erasu Pratap Reddy said that any move to split Rayalaseema would destroy the identity of the region.He said that the leaders of Rayalaseema were insisting that a greater Rayalaseema state be formed if the state is divided.
