Some of the Congress MPs from Telangana region of Andhra Pradesh are holding consultations among themselves on the invitation of TRS President K Chandrasekhar Rao to join his sub-regional party.
A day after the TRS chief met some of them, the MPs from the region reportedly held a meeting here today to discuss the issue.
Congress Lok Sabha member S Rajaiah told reporters that the Telangana Congress leaders need to give a serious thought to the issue of the ruling party in AP not delivering on the separate statehood demand.
There has been speculation that some of the Congress MPs from Telangana, who have been vocal in raising the statehood demand, might switch over to TRS ahead of the 2014 general elections.
The TRS President went to the residence of senior Congress leader K Keshav Rao here yesterday and held talks with him for about two hours. Congress Lok Sabha member M Jagannath was also present at the meeting.
Keshav Rao later said they discussed political issues and strengthening of the separate statehood agitation.
"TRS is leading the movement for separate Telangana. What I want to say is that we, the Telangana protagonists and Telangana Congress leaders, are ready for anything to achieve Telangana," Keshav Rao, former president of Andhra Pradesh Congress, had said.
The TRS President feels that the statehood agitation can be strengthened further if Telangana Congress leaders join his party, Keshav Rao has said.
Rao had said consultations would continue with more Congress MPs in the coming days.
