T solution in one month: Botsa

Pradesh Congress Committee president Botsa Satyanarayana on Thursday claimed that the Congress High Command would resolve the Telangana issue within one month.

Talking to reporters after meeting in-charge of party affairs in Andhra Pradesh and Union Health Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad here, Botsa said that the Centre was aware of the facts relating to the on-going general strike. He said that the Congress party would be holding discussions with all the UPA constituents on the issue to find an amicable solution.

Botsa said the Congress was also ready to hold talks with the Bharatiya Janata Party, if necessary, to ensure that the separate statehood issue is resolved at the earliest. He said since the issue is contentious, a national-level discussion was inevitable. However, he said the entire process would be completed and a solution would be announced within a month.

The PCC president appealed that the general strike be called off keeping in view the inconvenience being caused to the general public.
