Leaders of Telugu Desam Party belonging to the Telangana region today formed a new body called Telangana Sadhana Samithi (TSS) to campaign for a separate state.

TDP politburo member Nagam Janardhana Reddy will be the convenor of TSS while senior leaders Mandava Venkateswara Rao, M Narasimhulu, E Dayakar Rao, T Devender Goud and Pocharam Srinivas Reddy will be the members.

The TDP, earlier in the day, decided to walk out of the Telangana Joint Action Committee and decided to carry out the struggle for a separate state on its own.

Accordingly, the TSS has been constituted, party sources said.

Meanwhile, the TDP leaders took out a candle light rally in the city tonight urging people to maintain peace.
