HRD minister M M Pallam Raju, who last night held back his resignation, today announced his decision to go ahead with it ignoring Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's counsel not to take any hasty step.
Kotla Surya Prakash Reddy, MoS Railways and son of late Rayalaseema stalwart K Vijayabhaskar Reddy, also said he met the Prime Minister and gave his resignation. Singh advised him against taking any "emotional step", according to him.
Other ministers K Sambasiva Rao (Textiles), K Chiranjeevi (Tourism), D Purandeswari (MoS Commerce) and Killi Kruparani (MoS IT and Communications) are also understood to have resigned, according to their aides.
Congress MPs, who had already resigned from the Lok Sabha on Telangana issue, have now threatened to quit the party. They include R Sambasiva Rao, Ananta Venkatarami Reddy, Sabbam Hari and Vundavali Arun Kumar.
At a press conference in Delhi, Sambasiva Rao accused the Congress of doing injustice to Telugus and even praised BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi.
In Andhra Pradesh also, state law minister E Pratap Reddy met governor and submitted his resignation.
The resignations took place while Seemandhra region witnessed widespread protests and shutdown. YSR Congress chief Y S Jaganmohan Reddy announced an indefinite fast from tomorrow while former chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu would begin fast-unto-death in Delhi from November 7.
Notwithstanding the resignations and protests in Seemandhra, the Congress said there was no question of backtracking while home minister Sushilkumar Shinde said such feelings were quite natural when a state is being carved out.
Chandrababu Naidu to go on indefinite fast in Delhi (IANS reports from Hyderabad)
Telugu Desam Party (TDP) president N. Chandrababu Naidu would go on indefinite fast in Delhi from Monday to demand the central government do justice to people of Seemandhra before taking any step to divide Andhra Pradesh.
The former chief minister told a press conference on Friday evening that he would expose Congress, which is trying to use Telangana issue for political mileage.
Naidu alleged that Congress was playing with the lives of people of Seemandhra by taking a decision to divide the state in an arbitrary manner without holding talks with leaders from both the regions.
He said Congress had only created more problems in the state instead of making sincere efforts to solve a sensitive issue.
He accused Congress party of having a 'match-fixing' with Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) and YSR Congress. Naidu pointed out that the leaders of Congress party themselves were making allegations of the "match-fixing".
The TDP chief claimed that bail to YSR Congress party YS Jaganmohan Reddy in corruption case was part of the secret deal between two parties.
