Fissures in T-JAC as TD fails to quit

Fissures have developed in the Telangana Joint Action Committee (T-JAC) with the Telugu Desam MLAs deciding not to resign.

The T-JAC, which met here late on Tuesday under the chairmanship of Prof. Kodandaram, failed to arrive at a decision on resignation issue and decided to meet again in a couple of days.

The TD representatives, Dr N. Janardhan Reddy, Mr E. Dayakar Rao, Mr Kadiam Srihari and others made it clear that their party MLAs would quit only if the Congress MLAs do it.

“We will sit again in a couple of days and discuss the resignation issue,” Prof. Kodandaram said.

The T-JAC condemned police lathicharge on students who obstructed the convoy of minister, Mr Komatireddy Venkatreddy near Yadagirigutta.

The T-JAC is also planning to boycott goods and services produced by Seema-Andhra politicians who are opposed to formation of Telangana.

“The list of services and products to be boycotted are being classified and will be announced soon,” said T-JAC convener, Prof. Kodandaram.
