TRS chief moves PM on Telangana


NEW DELHI, Jan 10 – TRS chief K Chandrasekhar Rao today met Prime Minister Manmohan Singh pushing for early steps by the Centre for formation of a separate Telangana state, reports PTI. Sources said the prime minister impressed upon Rao the need for maintaining peace and normalcy with other regions of Andhra Pradesh–coastal Andhra and Rayal-seema– before the Centre could think of next steps.

Rao is understood to have told the prime minister that even if the Centre wants to carry forward discussions it should be done by Home Minister P Chidambaram himself and not by any Committee.

The TRS chief is said to be opposed to constitution of any mechanism to hold deliberations on Telangana as is being speculated.
