The miffed Telangana Congress leaders, particularly the MPs, have decided to organise a meeting on October 22 in Hyderabad and call for boycotting the AP State Formation Day celebrations on 1 November and observe a "Great Betrayal Day" in order to register protest against the delay by the Centre on Telangana demand.

A meeting of all important Congress functionaries from the mandal to state level would be organised at the Exhibition Grounds on October 22 to formulate future action plan for achieving separate T state. The Karimnagar MP, Mr Ponnam Prabhakar, told reporters that all the ministers, MPs and legislators from the region would attend the meeting. He said it is most likely the meeting may ask all the Telangana ministers to boycott participating in the state Formation Day celebrations.

Meanwhile, the former minister Komatireddy Venkata Reddy, on Thursday declared he would start fast-unto-death from November 1 at Nalgonda. He warned the government any attempt to disrupt his fast would be strongly resisted. However, the presence of Telangana ministers and MLAs at the October 22 meeting has become doubtful as majority of them have already been convinced by the Chief Minister and have started distancing themselves from attending to such meetings.
