New Delhi: The struggle for a separate Telangana state by dividing Andhra Pradesh seems to be in the final stages. Under pressure from Andhra Pradesh leaders including Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy, the UPA Coordination Committee and the Congress Working Committee are likely to meet on Tuesday at 5.30 pm to decide on the bifurcation of the state and creation of Telangana.

A sharp division within the party has cropped up as the Congress is pushing ahead with the plan for Telangana. Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Kiran Kumar Reddy is reportedly opposed to the decision saying the bifurcation will cause water and power problems for the new state.

With the top Congress leadership appearing to have veered towards creation of Telangana, Congress MPs from the rest of Andhra Pradesh, too, have opposed any division of the state while a party MP from Telangana region had said that the government should go ahead with the decision.

As the Congress prepares to take a decision on dividing Andhra Pradesh to create Telangana, additional forces have been rushed to the state by the Union Home Ministry to maintain law and order.
