Hyderabad: Seeking to mount pressure on the
government to announce a time-frame for the formation of
separate Telangana, TRS MLAs tonight asked the Andhra Pradesh
Assembly Speaker N Kiran Kumar Reddy to accept their
resignations.
The TRS MLAs held a sit-in at the residence of the
Speaker demanding that he accept their resignations
immediately.
"We told him that we cannot continue in our posts as a
number of Telangana youths are committing suicides. He told us
that he would talk to us personally in the next few days and
take a decision," TRS floor leader in the Assembly E Rajender
told reporters.
The TRS` decision to mount pressure on the Speaker came
on a day a student allegedly committed suicide at the Osmania
University here in support of separate Telangana.
Angry over the alleged suicide of the student, students
of the Osmania University did not allow his body to be lifted
from the campus.
They demanded that the public representatives from
Telangana quit immediately to mount pressure on the Centre to
announce a clear timeframe for the formation of separate
Telangana.
