'Cong leaders should abide by the decision of Centre on T-issue'

PCC chief  Botsa Satyanrayana today said sentiments of people from various regions of the state will be taken into consideration before arriving at a decision on separate Telanagana state. 

Talking to media-persons in Vijayawada, Botsa said that  Congress leaders from the state have to abide by the decision of the party high command on the issue. Home minister Sushilkumar Shinde had told an all-party meeting held last week in New Delhi that the Centre would decide on Telangana in one month.

Replying to a query on migration of some leaders from the party over formation of the separate state, the PCC chief said those leaders who have left will return to the party fold in future.

Botsa earlier visited the venue where regional convention of Congress is scheduled to be held on January 7. Congress MLAs and ministers will be attending the one-day event. The objective of the regional convention is to create awareness on welfare and development schemes of the government, he said.
