There will be a special cabinet meeting on Telangana tomorrow.  After the UPA coordination committee and the CWC endorses it, the Prime Minister will refer it to the President.

The first visuals of the CWC which is underway at 10 Janpath doesn't display any celebratory mood. Congress sources claim that the issue of the division of Andhra Pradesh has split the Congress high command, but somehow the disagreements in the top leadership have not come in the way of extending support to the creation of Telanagana. 

With the announcement of Telangana, India enters into the election phase. A cabinet minister told rediff.com, "Ambiguity on Telangana was hurting us so clarity was needed. The only issue now is to see that people understand that it's not done for electoral gains, but for the devolution of power to the people of Telenagana."

The UPA's unanimous nod to the issue is no surprise because Sharad Pawar, most powerful presence amongst Congress allies has been supporting the division since the last 10 years.
