Congress MP Madhu Yaskhi Goud on Sunday announced that he would resign from the party and post if the Centre fails to announce a favourable decision on Telangana statehood by July this year.
Talking to reporters, the Nizambad MP made it clear that he would resign from the primary membership of Congress party and also from the Lok Sabha membership if the Congress-led UPA Government at the Centre fails to decide on Telangana. However, he hoped that the Congress would take a decision in favour of formation of Telangana State.
Madhu Yaskhi said that by July this year, the Centre would be in a position to take a fair decision on the statehood issue. The results of by-elections would be declared on June 15 and this would also clear the political uncertainty prevailing in the State. Therefore, he said he would resign from the party and post if Centre fails to decide on Telangana by July.
The Congress MP said that after resignation, he would participate in the statehood agitation with the support of non-political entities and organise programmes like ‘Walk for Telangana’.
