The committee, which spearheads the pro-telangana movement, expelled Andhra Pradesh's main opposition party TDP late Friday night.

Telugu Desam Party leaders hailing from Telangana region on Wednesday met Governor E S L Narasimhan, and requested that the committee constituted by the Centre should have a specific time frame on the formation of a separate state.

A five-member TDP delegation on Tuesday met Union Home Minister P Chidambaram and opposed any "hasty" decision on the Telangana in Andhra Pradesh.

Security was on Tuesday tightened in Telangana, including Hyderabad, ahead of Wednesday's bandh in support of a separate state demand as TRS said it was ready for talks with the Centre but not accept any committee to discuss the issue.

The Telugu Desam Party has sought a clarification from Chief Minister K Rosaiah on whether or not his government existed, as the pro-active role being taken by new Governor E S L Narasimhan was raising doubts over imposition of President's rule in Andhra Pradesh.
