A meeting between Congress ministers of both regions begins short while ago at Ministers’ quarters in Hyderabad. Ganta Srinivasa rao and Erasu Prathap Reddy from Seemandhra and K.Jana Reddy and few others from Telangana have come to attend this meeting.

The meeting is intended to develop consensus between leaders of both regions and then to chalk out the issues between Seemandhra and Telangana regions aroused of bifurcation decision. If, they could make any progress in their talks, definitely it is going to help the Congress party, rather than the people of the state. But, the rigid stand taken by leaders of both sides may not give enough scope for proceeding ahead with negotiations.

Moreover, none of them can give any assurance to the other on any issue because they don’t have backing of the people. The delay taking place in bifurcation process and the Congress high command gradual turn around on its announcement makes Telangana people fume on the Congress leaders. At the same time, Seemandhra Ministers reluctance to step down from their posts and Congress party’s determination to divide the state, makes Seemandhra people fume on the Congress leaders. Hence, the leaders who sat for meeting now with their counterparts may not afford to compromise on any issue related to bifurcation of the state.

So, the meeting may ends up without any significant developments. At the most they may unanimously agree to meet again soon.
