Ten MLAs of the TRS resigned on Wednesday even as the Centre announced it was putting statehood for Telangana on hold.

Two Praja Rajyam Party MLAs have quit and 12 Congress MLAs have submitted their resignations to the Speaker. TRS village sarpanches too plan to resign today.
 
In Delhi, all the 12 Congress MPs from the Telangana region have announced their decision to hand their resignations to Congress President Sonia Gandhi in protest against the Centre's statement that the situation in Andhra Pradesh has "altered" since it announced steps to form Telangana earlier this month.

Home Minister P Chidambaram made a brief statement last night saying wide-ranging consultations would be held on the issue as a large number of parties are sharply divided on it.
