Although some of the Seemandhra Congress leaders were available at Delhi, they refused to appear before Anotony committee yesterday.

As the members of the Committee were busy in the parliament, the Seemandhra leaders were asked by the Congress party senior leaders to meet them at Delhi.  But the leaders of Seemandhra turned it down telling that they would meet them only when they come down to Hyderabad.

PCC President Botsa Satyanarayana who was busy making the list of leaders finalized it with Kiran Kumar Reddy and went to Delhi to conduct the meeting of the agitating leaders and the Committee Members.

When the Seemandhra leaders showed reluctance to do so, Botsa went on the plan of inviting the Committee members to Hyderabad to have an interaction with the leaders of the Seemandhra, Rayalaseema and Telangana to hear their versions.
