AICC general secretary incharge of Andhra Pradesh Ghulam Nabi Azad on Tuesday informed the media that a decision on Telanagana would be taken after November 10. Azad met Congress president Sonia Gandhi on Tuesday for about half an hour and apprised her of the situation in the state following the withdrawal of the strike by T-JAC and also his talks with state leaders. It is learnt that it is the UPA government which will make the announcement on Telangana and not the Congress party. The announcement will be made by Home Minister P Chidambaram. It was Chidambaram who had made the December 9 and 23, 2009, announcements on the Telangana issue. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is likely to call a meeting of all UPA allies in a day or two to brief them on the government’s stand on the issue. There will be no further consultations within the Congress or with the various other actors in the state, it is understood.A key AICC functionary, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said: “We have asked the agitators to call off their general strike due to the festival season starting with Deepavali. Now as the festival season is ending on Friday, we have to take a decision at the earliest.” The UPA is now feeling a sense of urgency especially after Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati had announced that she would move a resolution in the state assembly to divide UP into four new states.
