No discussion on Telangana at Congress Working Committee meet

New Delhi: The Congress Working Committee on Tuesday did not discuss the demand for a separate state of Telangana in its meet, that was largely dominated by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's economic reforms.

Telangana was not discussed even as Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) chief K Chadrashekhar Rao has been camping in Delhi hoping for a formal announcement from the Centre on Telangana.

Earlier, sources had also indicated that a Congress-TRS merger may be on the cards. Sources in the Centre had said that the government reportedly wanted the TRS to join it before it considers taking up the matter.
