Digivijay asks Seemandhra MPs not to resign

AICC General Secretary on Monday strongly appealed to the Seemandhra MPs to reconsider their decision to resign from their posts.

Speaking to media persons here, Digvijay Singh said that before the decision was taken they had committed to the leadership that they would abide by the decision of the High Command. "Now that the High Command has decided, they should not go back on their words. I know it is difficult situation for them, but at the same time, we have to find solutions," he said.

"Once the decision has been taken, it is the responsibility of the Congress party and all its leaders including MPs, ministers, MLAs and the Chief Minister to find solutions so that the best deal is given to the people of Seemandhra, Telangana people of Hyderabad. I think we will all have to work together to work out a solution and give proposals to the GoM set by the UPA Government," he said.

When asked about the Assembly resolution, Digvijay Singh admitted that there no clarity on the same. "This has to be clarified. Earlier the schedule which was given to me included a resolution to be sent to the Assembly through the President of India. Now I'm told that the Union Home Minister gave some statements that GoM has decided something else," he said adding that he had requested Sushil Kumar Shinde to give a new schedules if there were any changes in the earlier schedule.

Digvijay Singh evaded reply while giving just a smile on Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy's latest comments that although he could not stop Phailin cyclone, he would stop the "bifurcation typhoon".
