Union Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad, who is also the Congress in-charge of Andhra Pradesh affairs submitted the report on Friday.
The party has said “it will take some more time” before taking a final decision on the complex issue. The Centre is likely to convene a meeting of all parties to thrash out the issue.
After Azad submitted the report, party’s core group met in the evening to discuss the issue in the wake of the fortnight- long strike demanding the creation of a separate state.
After the 90-minute meeting attended by Sonia Gandhi, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, and ministers P Chidambaram, Pranab Mukherjee, A K Anthony, Azad and others, a senior party leader said “discussions are still on and it will take some more time” to settle the issue.
Azad has held several rounds of discussions with leaders, ministers, MPs, MLAs and MLCs from Telangana, Rayalaseema and coastal Andhra regions. He prepared his report after the party high command asked him in July to hold discussions and get their views.
Chidambaram told reporters that "an important stage of consultations appears to be over. The TDP and MIM are waiting to see what is the Congress position. We are waiting for the official position of all parties, after which we will convene an all-party meeting.”
