Hyderabad: Congress will remain part of
the all-party Joint Action Committee (JAC), formed to
spearhead the agitation for a separate Telangana state, senior
party MLA R Damodar Reddy said here on Friday.
"We have kept aside our `zhendas` (flags) and joined
hands for one agenda that is formation of Telangana. We will
remain part of the JAC," he said.
Damodar Reddy`s assertion came in the wake of reports
that the Congress would chart out its own course of action on
the Telangana issue.
Congress decided to form a Political Action Committee
on Telangana and also stayed away from the JAC meeting
yesterday which led to the impression that the party was
moving away from the JAC.
The ruling party also shot off a letter to the JAC
convener yesterday on ways to improve the functioning of the
Committee.
Damodar Reddy admitted today that his party faced some
problems in the JAC but expressed confidence that they would
be sorted out amicably.
JAC convener C Kodandaram also said the Committee
remained united and that the suggestions of Congress have been
accepted.
The suggestions of Congress are technical in nature
and they include setting up an office for JAC among others, he
said.
