"We will meet the political parties of Andhra Pradesh on November 12 and 13 and central ministers from the state on November 18," he told reporters after the meeting of the GoM.
The political parties are: Congress, BJP, Telugu Desam Party, CPI, CPI(M), Telangana Rashtra Samiti, YSR Congress and All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen. They have been called to meet the high-powered ministerial panel and let it know their views on the process of the division of Andhra Pradesh, assets, river water besides other related issues.
After the third meeting of the GoM, Shinde said they have received more than 18,000 suggestions from individuals and organisations on the issue of creation of Telangana and all the mails and letters are being scrutinised.
