The hide and seek game of T Congress leaders and the Centre continues as they were called to Delhi as they were prepared to quit the party.

Seven Congress MPs had decided to quit the party and office as the Centre did not keep up its word of deciding on Telangana and were about to write a letter to Congress President Sonia Gandhi when the call came from headquarters.

The advance and retreat game of Delhi and local Congress leaders has been in vogue for quite some time now. Whenever a Congress leader speaks his mind out, he is summoned to Delhi and he comes back like an obedient soldier.

The seven MPs were instrumental in the Centre calling for an ALL Party meeting as they wanted to quit the party ahead of the crucial FDI voting. They were then pacified and the date for all party meeting was given. But that is not all.

Congress leaders held a series of meetings and gave an impression that they have forced high command to give a decision.

When things went the other way, TRS launched its tirade and targeted the local and Delhi leaders and fired with all the guns.

When the MPs wanted to quit, Delhi has shown the carrot.

We have to wait and see what is in store in the coming days.
