The Telegu Desam Party made an effort to barge into the Raj Bhavan and demand an explanation from Andhra Pradesh Governor E S L Narasimhan as to why he gave a negative report regarding formation of a separate Telangana state.

All the TDP MLAs from the Telengana region, who have decided to put in their papers, demanded that the Governor give an explanation to the people of Telangana why he gave a negative report to the Srikrishna Commission.

All the leaders were arrested while trying to barge into the Raj Bhavan. However, they were later released.

The TDP leaders alleged that Governor Narasimhan was consulted during the visit of the panel's members and he had opposed the formation of Telangana.

They further alleged that the Governor had given a negative report and this was one of the main basis for the panel to come to a conclusion that a separate Telangana state should not be formed.

Meanwhile, the Congress leaders from Telangana who had said that they would tender their resignations are now thinking of going on an indefinite fast.

The leaders after a meeting decided that they would go on a hunger strike and would call it off only when Telangana is formed.
