New Delhi, Jul 6 : “The status as of today is consultation process is still continuing. No decision has been taken yet,” Home Minister P Chidambaram told reporters here when asked about the demand for a separate Telangana state.
With lawmakers raising the pitch for a separate Telangana, Centre today said consultations were on and hoped the process would help it reach a final decision even as it ruled out suggestions of President’s Rule in Andhra Pradesh.
He ruled out suggestions of imposition of President’s Rule in Andhra Pradesh, where over 100 legislators have submitted their resignations to press for their demand for a separate Telengana state.
“We are not thinking of President’s Rule….We hope that the process of consultations will show us the path to reach a conclusion,” Chidambaram said.
Expressing unhappiness over the spate of resignations by MLAs and MPs from the region, he said the Centre would engage them in discussions.
Chidambaram said that the Congress General Secretary in-charge of party affairs in Andhra Pradesh is already in talks with party MLAs and MPs on the issue.
