New Delhi: After resigning from their
posts in protest against the terms of reference of the Justice
B N Srikrishna committee, two senior Telangana Congress MLAs
today met party leader Veerappa Moily and explained to him the
circumstances that led them to put their papers.
Damodar Reddy and Muthyam Reddy had resigned from
their posts on Sunday in protest against the ToR of the
committee which will also elicit people's views on keeping
Andhra Pradesh united.
Sources said the MLAs were summoned by Moily, in-
charge of party affairs in Andhra Pradesh, to seek explanation
from them.
"We will meet Moily and Ahmed Patel. We will explain
to them the circumstances that led us to take this decision.
We will also brief them about the ground reality in Andhra
Pradesh, especially Telangana region," they told reporters
before meeting Moily.
They also said they are "confident that the Centre
would make some changes in the ToR."
The resignation of the MLAs have not yet been accepted
by Speaker Kirankumar Reddy, who, however, accepted the
resignations of some TRS and TDP MLAs, who put in their papers
protesting the ToR.
