They had submitted their resignations one day before the Congress and TDP MLAs submitted theirs.Speaking to reporters after meeting the speaker, Nagam said they were giving the speaker 72 hours' time. "If the speaker does not accept our resignations, we will stage a dharna before his chamber in the Assembly," he warned.Nagam alleged that the bus yatra being undertaken by TDP Telangana leaders was for not the sake of Telangana but for the sake of their leader N Chandrababu Naidu.
