Hyderabad, March 8 -- Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) MPs skipped the all-party meeting at Praja Bhavan, chaired by deputy chief minister Bhatti Vikramarka, on Saturday, March 8.

In his letter to Bhatti, Union minister for coal and mines G Kishan Reddy stated that he got the invite for the meeting at the last minute, the reason why he was unable to attend.

He made it clear that when it came to the development of Telangana, there would be no compromise.
