All 13 Andhra Pradesh ministers from Telangana region today faxed a common letter to AICC President Sonia Gandhi stating that they have decided to resign from the government on the statehood issue.
The ministers met Chief Minister K Rosaiah at the Secretariat and informed him about the decision.
Later, P Lakshmaiah, Sabita Reddy, D Sridhar Babu and other ministers said they have appealed to the Centre to announce a clear cut time frame for formation of a separate Telangan state.
They said Union Home Minister P Chidambaram's statement on December 23 putting the Telangana issue on the backburner was "confusing".
They also said they would seek an appointment to meet Gandhi soon.
