12 MLAs resignation accepted by Andhra assembly speaker

The resignation of 12 of the 15 MLAs, who had quit on the Telangana issue, has been accepted by Andhra Pradesh Assembly Speaker N Kiran Kumar Reddy.

While resignation of 11 MLAs was accepted by the Speaker on Monday, a TDP MLA's letter to step down was accepted last night.

Fifteen MLAs from Telangana region submitted their resignation to the Speaker yesterday protesting the terms of reference of the Sri Krishna committee appointed by the Centre to go into the statehood issue.

The resignations of two Congress and one PRP MLAs are yet to be disposed of by the Speaker.

The move follows the renewed call of the all-party Telangana Joint Action Committee (JAC) to legislators from the region to submit their resignation en masse, rejecting the ToR.

The JAC said that quitting assembly seats is the only way to mount pressure on the Centre for taking immediate steps for the formation of Telangana.
