In line with the decision taken on Saturday, three legislators of Andhra Pradesh's ruling Congress party from Telangana region submitted their resignations even as other Congress and TDP MLAs are still getting ready.

Vishnuvardhan Reddy, one of the legislators from Hyderabad, submitted his resignation to Deputy Speaker Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka as Speaker N. Manohar is in the US. He became the first Congress legislator to quit. Four rebel legislators of TDP had sent their resignations to the speaker's office Sunday from their hunger strike camp. Rebel Congress legislator Konda Surekha has also submitted her resignation while another Congress legislator, G. Venkat Ram Reddy, faxed his resignation from the US. Ministers from Telangana have sought an appointment with Governor E.S.L. Narasimhan to submit their resignations. They along with the legislators met at the residence of Panchayat Raj Minister Jana Reddy before leaving for the assembly to resign.

Meanwhile, nine MPs of Congress have already reached Delhi to submit their resignations to Lok Sabha Speaker Meira Kumar. In Hyderabad, TDP MLAs and MLCs reached the assembly building much in advance to hold a meeting to chalk out their strategy. They are likely to resign enmass after Congress legislators submit their papers.
