Core Group fails to meet as Sonia was not present

New Delhi: The Telangana issue did not figure either in the meeting of the Union Cabinet meeting on Friday morning. The Congress Core Group, slated for the evening, did not materialize, as Congress President Sonia Gandhi was not present. Since Hyderabad was the key issue to be discussed and it was not possible in the absence of Sonia Gandhi, the discussion finally did not materialize. In fact, the Congress Core Group is chaired by Sonia Gandhi and in her absence, it could not take place.
According to sources, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, who chaired the evening meeting, was attended, among others, by Finance Minister P Chidambaram, External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid and Planning Commission Deputy Chairman Montek Singh Ahluwalia. Focus of the meeting was the upcoming visit of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to the United States.
Since the Prime Minister is leaving early next week, there is still a possibility of the Congress Core Group meeting being held on Saturday. However, there is no confirmation available in this regard. Primarily, the crux of the matter on which the Telangana process is stuck is status of Hyderabad. If once the Centre can identify what is to be done with Hyderabad, then the process of carving out Telangana can be hastened. For any meaningful discussion to take place, it is being pointed out that the presence of Congress President Sonia Gandhi is inescapable.
