Hyderabad, March 9 -- Congress parliamentarians from Telangana on Saturday decided to move an adjournment motion in the second leg of the budget session of Parliament beginning Monday to highlight the issue of the Centre's "step-motherly treatment" towards the state.

The decision was taken during a meeting of the Telangana MPs led by state deputy chief minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka at Praja Bhavan.

The parliament members of Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) stayed away from the meeting.
