Vijayalakshmi claims PM assured to stop T-process until issues resolved

Y S Jaganmohan Reddy's mother met the Prime Minister with a proposal to keep the state undivided

GN Bureau | August 27, 2013



The YSR Congress Party is pushing ahead with a two-pronged strategy to keep itself in the news in the wake of the ongoing Seemandhra stir. While its president Y S Jaganmohan Reddy is on an indefinite fast inside the Chanchalguda Central Jail, his mother Y S Vijayalakshmi played her hand at Delhi diplomacy to hog the limelight.

Vijayalakshmi met Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh at his office in the Parliament House today. Leading a delegation of the party, she submitted a three-page representation to him with the demand to keep the state undivided. The team briefed the prime minister about the developments in the Seemandhra regions in the wake of the stir.

But more than her meeting assuming significance, the claims she made after emerging out of the meeting, grabbed all the attention. She claimed that the prime minister has agreed to form a Group of Ministers to look into the grievances of the Seemandhra regions. She hastened to add that the prime minister had said that the process for a separate Telangana state would not move forward until all the issues are resolved.

The YSR Congress honorary president will meet President Pranab Mukherjee on the same issue later in the day.
