APCC issues show-cause notice to Mrutyunjayam

By Our Special Correspondent

HYDERABAD Jan. 16. The APCC disciplinary committee headed by Lakshmi Devi which met here on Thursday issued a show-cause notice to the former DCC president of Karimnagar, Mrutyunjayam, for his alleged role in the recent clashes among the partymen in the district.

The meeting was attended by Ms.Lakshmi Devi, M.Ravinder Reddy, M.Satyanarayana Goud, MLA and Farooq Hussain.

Giving a two-week notice to Mr.Mrutyunjayam, tha party asked him why he should not be suspended from the party for his anti-party activities.

In a separate development, the former MLA, V.Jagapathi Rao who has been allegedly expelled from the TRS, joined the Congress in the presence of the PCC president, M.Satyanarayana Rao. Mr.Jagapathi Rao claimed that he was never a member of the TRS and his name was included in the TRS presidium without his knowledge.

Talking to presspersons he said the TRS leadership was only interested in making money and not in the cause of Telangana. He said the only hope for Telangana was in the leadership of Sonia Gandhi, hence he was joining the Congress.

MSR to vist Delhi

The APCC president is leaving for New Delhi on Janauary 19 "on his own and to discuss party affairs in general''. Talking to presspersons, he said he was not going to raise contentious issues like Telangana or so.

Meanwhile, the Congress Forum for Telangana in a statement reiterated its commitment to the development of the Telangana region.

It criticised the NDA Government "for bowing to the demand of the TDP and declaring that there would be no second SRC'' and said CFT would continue to seek a regional PCC. Under Madras presidency too, a separate provincial committee for the Andhras was in existence, the CFT leaders said.

M.Kodanda Reddy, general secretary of the CFT, said in the statement that a serious agitation in 1969 for separate Telangana was wiped out by the machinations of the Andhra leaders and the CFT leaders would not allow it to happen now.
