Chief Minister N.Kiran Kumar Reddy and APCC president D. Srinivas will hold a crucial meeting with the Telangana Congress MLAs today, to persuade the latter to end their boycott of Assembly. Sources said Congress MLAs deferred their scheduled meeting on Sunday following information that the Chief Minister and APCC chief would interact with them.

The party legislators from Telangana had announced their intention to stay away from the House till Saturday. Efforts by Mr. Srinivas to convince them to return to the House went in vain last week, when the MLAs refused to oblige. The MLAs have been keeping away from the Assembly seeking introduction of a Bill on Telangana in Parliament in the ongoing budget session.
