Telangana Congress MPs to submit resignations today

 Seven Congress MPs from the Telangana region are coming to the national capital on Wednesday to hand over their resignations to party chief Sonia Gandhi, in protest against the delay over a Central government decision on splitting Andhra Pradesh. 

The MPs had yesterday put off their decision to forward their resignation -- both from Lok Sabha and the party -- by a day as they reportedly could not iron out differences among themselves on the issue. 
The MPs are slated to reach New Delhi in the afternoon and will meet Sonia Gandhi to submit the resignations. 

The MPs yesterday said that they had received a call from Congress leader and Union minister Vayalar Ravi asking them to come to the national capital to discuss the Telangana issue. 

"Reports that there are differences among us and also with the Ministers from Telangana are not true. Our sole aim is to secure statehood for the region and we shall go forward with our plan unitedly," MPs Ponnam Prabhakar, Gutta Sukhender Reddy and others maintained. 

The MPs had announced on Monday that they would forward their resignation, along with a letter explaining the reason for it, to Gandhi on Tuesday. 

But, some of the Parliamentarians were said to have disagreed with the decision as leaving the party would not serve any purpose and could even prove counter-productive. 

The ministers' decision not to quit their posts now also prompted the MPs to do a re-think, party sources said
