Singh's statement was on the lines of one made by Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde last night, close on the heels of five Union Ministers of Seemandhra region meeting the Prime Minister requesting him to accept their resignations over the issue of creation of Telangana.
Singh said the Group of Ministers constituted by the government to go into the details of the new state formation, will hold detailed consultations with all stakeholders on these and other sensitive issues.
