No immediate resolution on Telangana now: CM

Hyderabad, Dec 12: The possibility of passing a resolution for creation of separate Telangana in the Assembly immediately is ruled out , said Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister K. Rosaiah on Saturday.Shocked and anguished by Union Home Minister secretary’s statement on initiating steps for creation of a new state,the CM said,he discussed with the high command the issue of Telangana but he had told them that to pass a resolution in the assembly was difficult and he had expressed his “fears“ over its safe passage.

On his discussions with Congress leadership and the Prime Minister Rosaiah said,“ I made it  clear to the high Command that it is difficult to pass a resolution.’’“I can’t assure you that the resolution will be passed because the number is most important.Cutting across the party lines, the agitation will take a turn. So, I expressed my fear to the Congress leadership,”he further added.“What Chidambaramji has ultimately told me is that we will discuss at an appropriate time. We will have to initiate moving a step further on this Telangana issue, perhaps the state legislature may have to pass a resolution.I said, it is not in my hands, ” he explained
