"Nothing has been decided as of now. Talks on Telangana will follow once things calm down," he said.
Replying to queries, he said here that emotions were "raw and running high".
"If the Centre says anything now, it will ignite things further." Keeping that in mind, the Andhra Pradesh assembly has been adjourned sine die, he added.
With political parties and the Andhra Pradesh Cabinet deeply divided on the proposal for creation of a separate state of Telangana, the Centre yesterday sought to cool tempers saying it wanted to take "everyone on board".
