Hitting out at Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) for stalling Assembly proceedings, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y S Rajasekhar Reddy on Wednesday said the final decision on the contentious Telangana issue had been left to the UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi.“After lot of deliberations, the Congress and TRS had decided to leave the matter to Sonia Gandhi. When the issue is under her consideration, it is not proper on the part of TRS to create ruckus over it,” he said.Reddy was interacting with the media in the Assembly premises soon after TRS members obstructed the business insisting on introduction of a resolution favouring formation of separate Telangana state.Rejecting the demand for tabling a resolution on Telangana, he pointed out that TRS leadership was party to the decision to leave the matter to Gandhi and said her verdict should be binding on all.“She (Gandhi) is the judge on this matter. Since she is seized of the matter, it is wrong on the part of TRS to put pressure like this,” the Chief Minister said.The Legislative Affairs Minister K Rosaiah also took objection to the manner in which TRS members stalled the Assembly leading to its abrupt adjournment for the day.“If they repeat the same behaviour tomorrow, we will be forced to take action as per the Assembly rules,” he warned.Meanwhile, the TRS MLAs T Harish Rao and N Narasimha Reddy demanded apology from Congress for “betraying the Telangana cause”.Ruling out meeting the Congress President to sort out the matters, they said, “We only want Congress to fulfill the promise it made in the 2004 elections on granting statehood for Telangana."
