Home minister Sabita Indra Reddy spoke on Telangana issue. She said she is expecting a statement on Telangana from the Centre on or before December 9. With KCR holding a press meet at Suryapet on Sunday, Telangana issue presumably dragged the attention of the big wigs in the state as well at Delhi.

That could be the reason why Sabita Indra Reddy, who generally doesn't make any statements or gives opinion on Telangana, has expressed what she felt. Now that home minister herself said she was expecting a statement, the observers said, Centre might curtain the issue and come out with a decision on Telangana. To know whether Centre will go ahead with its decision or buys further time on the same, one has to wait till December 9.
