With the budget session of Parliament on, partymen from Telangana region appear to have made a common cause in Lok Sabha with members of TRS and TDP from the region.
The leadership has brought temporary truce asking the party MPs to lie low for the next few days till the presentation of the budget is over.
Party chief Sonia Gandhi and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh have deliberated on the vexed issue time and again in the last few months including last Friday at the Congress Core Group meeting.
Chief minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy is in the capital holding deliberations with top party leaders on the issue and met Gandhi, her political secretary Ahmed Patel, UPA's trouble shooter Pranab Mukherjee and AICC general secretary in-charge for the state M Veerappa Moily.
Reddy's meeting with the senior leaders come in wake of the controversy over the Telangana issue deepening in the state when the budget session of Assembly is in progress there.
Joining protests with TRS and members of TDP, Congress MLAs from the region have been disrupting the Assembly session for last few days over the demand, while government employees of the region have launched a non-cooperation movement.
Pressing the panic button, 16 ministers of the state government belonging to Telangana wrote a letter to Congress President Sonia Gandhi a few days back seeking a "special and urgent" audience with her on the issue.
Sources say the top leadership has told party leaders from the region to keep patience assuring them a credible solution is being worked out.
An all party meeting of stake holders from the state has already been held and another one is likely next month.
In their missive to Gandhi, the ministers said any delay in creation of the new state will be detrimental to the party and there was "no option" to a separate Telangana.
Earlier party MPs from from both Houses belonging to the region had met UPA's trouble shooter Pranab Mukherjee making no secret of their uncompromising stand on a separate state.
