The much-awaited meeting of eight political parties of Andhra Pradesh to discuss the recommendations of the Srikrishna Committee on Telangana and find out a solution acceptable to all is likely to be held early next month.
Govt Decision
Sources said the Government would like to take a decision on the recommendations of the panel possibly before the Budget Session of Parliament starting February-end.
The Home Minister, Mr P Chidambaram, is leaving for Davos in Switzerland to participate in the World Economic Forum meeting and will return to the capital on January 30.
A decision about the possible date of the proposed meeting is expected to be taken after his return.
The Telangana issue is likely to have a mention at the February 1 meeting of Chief Ministers of all States convened by the Home Ministry.
Inauguration
The Prime Minister, Mr Manmohan Singh, will inaugurate the meeting.
The indication that a meeting on Telangana will be held in early February had also come after the January 21 meeting of the Congress Core Group comprising Mr Manmohan Singh, the Congress chief, Ms Sonia Gandhi, and a few other top leaders. Earlier, there was an impression that the meeting would be held before Republic Day, but the sources said consultations within the ruling party were not yet over and would take some more time.
