Hyderabad: Telugu Desam Party MLAs from
Telangana will once again submit their resignation even as
they decided to legally challenge Assembly Speaker Nadendla
Manohar's rejection of their earlier letters offering to quit.
"We will meet the Speaker in person upon his return from
London and submit our resignations afresh," TDP Telangana
Forum convenor Errabilli Dayakar Rao told reporters on Monday.
The Speaker has committed a "big mistake in the history"
by rejecting the resignations submitted on July 4 demanding
creation of Telangana state, Rao said.
The Speaker "grossly betrayed" the people of Telangana
by rejecting their resignations, he said.
Alleging that AICC General Secretary Ghulam Nabi Azad was
taking the Telangana Congress legislators for a ride on the
statehood issue, the TDP leader wanted the ruling party MLAs
to tender resignations afresh to step up pressure on the
Centre.
The TDP Telangana Forum has constituted a four-member
internal committee to take care of the legal battle on the
resignations issue.
Earlier in the day, the Telangana legislators had a
detailed meeting with TDP chief N Chandrababu Naidu wherein it
was decided to submit the resignations afresh.
