YSR Congress to 'skip' T row at its maiden plenary

HYDERABAD: A day before its maiden plenary in Kadapa, the YSR Congress on Thursday hinted that it would maintain a balancing act for the time being on the Telangana region.

According to party sources, YSR Congress president Jaganmohan Reddy is likely to move a political resolution at the plenary blaming the ruling Congress party for the mess on Telangana issue.

"Our stand will be positive on all the three regions. We want that all the three regions be included in the deliberations about any change of geographical boundaries of the state," said Gattu Ramachandra Rao, official spokesperson of the party.

According to the sources, Jagan will deliver a long speech in which he will recall his father's statements on Telangana and assure the region that he will not come in the way of Telangana if the Centre decided to grant the same. "But at the same time, interests and apprehensions of other regions should be addressed first," said Ambati Rambabu.

During his speech which is being prepared by adviser DA Somayajulu and others, Jagan will put the onus of resolving the T issue on the Congress. "The present juncture is not right time to declare one's stance, because there are several Telangana leaders, both in the Congress and Telugu Desam Party, who are ready to switch over to his party. In the same breath, the Seemandhra leaders in YSR Congress Party argue that there was a dire need for a strong leader who can speak up for the cause of integrated state. The need now for Jagan is consolidation. Therefore, a balancing act is required," said an aide.
