The Medak Telugu Desam MLA, Mr Mynampalli Hanumantha Rao, withdrew his resignation.
Mr Hanumantha Rao had created a stir among Telangana activists by announcing his decision to quit his Assembly seat and offering it to the kin of those who died during the Telangana agitations.
When he met his supporters in Hyderabad, they reportedly opposed his resignation.
Mr Hanumantha Rao’s supporters insisted on Monday that he must withdraw his resignation since there was no response to his offer from any political party, including the TRS.
He told agitators that he would abide by his decision.
Telugu Desam sources revealed that Mr Hanumantha Rao’s decision was the outcome of a running feud with the former TRS legislator, Mr T. Harish Rao and that it was taken to settle scores with the TRS president, Mr K. Chandrasekhar Rao.
Sources added that the Telugu Desam chief, Mr N. Chandrababu Naidu, had asked the legislator to withdraw his resignation as there was not much of a response to his offer to quit for the Telangana victims.

T men stall Balayya’s film shoot
A group of Telangana activists disrupted the shooting of actor Balakrishna’s film at Kesara in Ranga Reddy district on Monday.
The Telangana Rashtra Samiti activists raised “Jai Telangana” slogans and disrupted the shooting at about 11 am at Rampallidayara village. The movie titled Simha, featuring Balakrishna and Sneha Ullal, is slated to hit the screens next month. Both Balakrishna and Sneha were not present on the sets when the activists raised slogans.
The TRS activists said they will not allow Balakrishna to shoot in the Telangana region if he did not pledge his support to the demand for Telangana state.
“After the shooting of the film had ended, we needed a village backdrop for some scenes. Hence, we had chosen a nearby village. However, the TRS workers came here and began shouting slogans. We had to call off the shooting,” said Mr Boyapati Sreenu, the director.
Meanwhile, police said that the film unit did not take permission for the shooting. “The film unit did not inform us or take our permission. However, when we got to know of the incident, we got there and dispersed the activists,” said Mr Bhadreshwar, inspector.
