With the Congress Core Committee scheduled to discuss the Telangana issue on Friday, AP Primary Education Minister S Sailajanath and other Congress leaders today met Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy and state Congress president Botsa Satyanarayana, who have been asked by the high command to prepare a roadmap on the issue.
"We told the Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) president that a united Andhra Pradesh is in the interest of weaker sections and that there is no alternative to it," Sailajanath told reporters.
Congress General Secretary Digvijay Singh, who is in-charge of party affairs in the state, has already submitted his proposal to party president Sonia Gandhi as the UPA government weighs options on the demand for a separate Telangana state.
