The party MLAs and MLCs today held a meeting here to discuss the current crisis in the state and the January five meeting convened by the Centre with eight recognised parties from the state.

The legislators have decided to meet on January 10 to discuss the outcome of the January five meeting, Government Whip and senior Congress MLA S Sailajanath told reporters.

Meanwhile, TDP leaders from the coastal Andhra and Rayalaseema regions also had a meeting at the party office here to discuss the issue.
