The party decided to join the government after an assurance from the Congress that the issue of creation of
a separate Telengana state would be looked into, TRS sources said.

While Rao is expected to get a cabinet berth, his party colleague, A Narendra, is likely to be sworn in as a minister of state, the sources said.
