At 6 pm today, the the Congress Core Committee will meet at 7 Race Course Road to take stock of the Telangana Bill; Jairam Ramesh has been invited to brief the Core Committee. Whether the Core Committee will decide to suspend Kiran Kumar Reddy and eight Congress MPs or will it authorise Sonia Gandhi to take a final decision on Reddy, remains to be seen. 

On Wednesday, Reddy became the second Chief Minister, after Arvind Kejriwal of Delhi, to stage a public protest in the national capital.

If people found Kejriwal's protest unconventional, this one was a step ahead. Reddy was protesting a decision by his own party to split Andhra Pradesh to create Telangana. He has emerged as a rallying force for Congress politicians from coastal Andhra and Rayalaseema (collectively called Seemandhra).
