A blame game has begun among the congress leaders of the Telangana region for the piquant situation into which the congress has been pushed at the moment.

Majority of the Telangana congress leaders are now charging the PCC chief D. Srinivas and the Union minister S. Jaipal reddy with misleading party president Sonia Gandhi on the seriousness of the situation in Telangana.

T congress MLAs and MPs now say that Srinivas posed as Telangana protagonist in the state while misleading the party leadership with false information on the T agitation. Most of the times he met Sonia Gandhi in Delhi, Srinivas advocated pro-united AP sentiments telling her that the agitation was not serious.

The T congress leaders allege that Srinivas, offended by his defeat at the hands of pro- Telangana elements in the bye-elections, have misled the party leadership by not revealing the seriousness of the situation. They also blame the Union Minister Jaipal reddy for not feeding the leadership with proper information on the agitation.
