If the Centre did not take any decision by Jan 28, the Telangana Political Joint Action Committee (JAC), which is spearheading the movement for a separate state, would press for the resignation of all ministers, MPs and MLAs to their posts and take part in the Telangana agitation voluntarily till the formation of separate state.
