GoM will hold its final meeting
on Telangana draft on Wednesday, informed sources. The report is likely to be
submitted to Union cabinet on Thursday. The GoM headed by Union Home Minister
Sushilkumar Shinde met on Tuesday but
the meeting remained inconclusive as the members could not agree on certain
subjects. Shinde said they would meet again on Wednesday. Ministers A.K.
Antony, P. Chidambaram, Veerappa Moily, Ghulam Nabi Azad, Jairam Ramesh and
Narayanaswamy besides Shinde attended the GoM meeting. Sources said GoM has
decided to recommend formation of Rayala-Telangana state by merging two of the
four districts of Rayalaseema with Telangana, the region which comprises 10
districts including Hyderabad. While many leaders have been demanding Union
Territory status to Hyderabad, the GoM reportedly hasn't been able to reach on
a consensus regarding the Tech city.
Meanwhile, a meeting of Congress MPs from
Telangana held at central minister S. Jaipal Reddy's residence in Delhi on
Tuesday night decided that the Rayala-Telangana idea is not acceptable to
them. The law ministry has reportedly prepared a draft bill for
Telangana. The bill is being examined by a team of legal experts to plug the
loopholes. The draft bill is likely to be given final shape in the light of GoM
recommendations.
