Ravi is an old hand in Andhra Pradesh affairs and has been informally looking after the Congress in the state for the last few months.
The meeting between Rao and Ravi today comes at a time when there is a clear realisation in Congress that the vexed issue of Telangana cannot be kept hanging for long. Indications have been given that a decision on the issue will be taken shortly.
A couple of days back, Andhra Pradesh Governor E S L Narasimhan had a meeting with Gandhi, Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde and Finance Minister P Chidambaram, fuelling speculation that a decision may be on the cards.
TRS chief K Chandrasekhara Rao is camping in the national capital for a meeting with Gandhi.
