New Delhi, July 29:  Highly-placed sources have said the Congress Working Committee, meeting tomorrow, is expected to endorse the decision to go ahead with a separate Telangana state. The process of creation of the new state will take at least a year and is expected to be completed by early 2014, sources said.The Working Committee of the Congress - the party's top decision-making body - in its meeting tomorrow is expected to endorse the decision to go ahead with a separate Telangana state. Andhra Pradesh has three main regions - Telangana, Coastal Andhra and Rayalaseema.The process of the creation of a new state is expected to take almost a year with the process involving the Union Cabinet, the Andhra Pradesh Assembly and the various stakeholders in the state's three regions.No final decision has been taken to include the two Rayalaseema districts - Ananthapur and Kurnool - in the new state. Some in Congress are in favour of including the two districts, considered to be Jagan Mohan Reddy's strongholds, in the new state to check the YSR Congress leader's rise in the region. There is little possibility of Hyderabad becoming a Union Territory, as reports had suggested earlier. The city, which is at the heart of the tug-of-war, between the pro- and anti-Telangana supporters because of its robust IT economy, will remain the capital of Andhra Pradesh for now, sources said.The Congress leaders from Andhra Pradesh, who had last week protested against the formation of a Telangana state, are also expected to fall in the party line. Sources said the leaders have agreed to the party high command's plans.Sources also say Chief Minister Kiran Kumar Reddy, who had opposed the bifurcation of the state in his meetings with Congress president Sonia Gandhi and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, remains upset but will not quit over the decision.But the creation of a Telangana state could be politically expeditious for the Congress, which will ask voters for a third shot at running the country in national elections due by May. Congress sources say they had to bite the Telangana bullet since any delay may have proved to be politically risky.Andhra Pradesh has 42 Lok Sabha seats. The Centre reportedly wants to move two districts from Rayalaseema to Telangana. This will divide the seats equally between the new state and the old, and also check the growing popularity of Jagan Mohan Reddy and the YSR Congress. Mr Reddy's stronghold lies in Rayalaseema. By carving it up, the Congress hopes to divide his supporters. The five-decade struggle for a Telangana state was forced onto the national agenda in 2009 by the Telangana Rashtra Samithi or TRS, headed by K Chandrasekhara Rao. He fasted for 10 days, triggering huge rallies of support. In response, in December 2009, in a surprise announcement, the Centre said it was sanctioning statehood. But within days, the government backtracked as violent protests erupted in the other two regions - Coastal Andhra Pradesh and Rayalaseema.
