Lok Sabha Speaker Meira Kumar on Sunday said she is yet to decide on the resignation of three MPs from Andhra Pradesh who put in their papers over the Telangana issue.

“I have got the resignation letters. They are under consideration,” she told reporters on the sidelines of a function in Andhra Bhavan here.

Three MPs -- Lagadapati Rajagopal (Congress), TRS chief K Chandrasekhar Rao and party MP Vijayashanti -- had sent their resignations to the Lok Sabha Speaker in December last year.

While Mr. Rajagopal resigned in protest against Centre’s decision to form Telangana state, Mr. Rao and Ms. Vijayashanti put in their papers to protest against Home Minister P Chidambaram’s December 23 statement favouring wide-ranging consultations on the issue.
