So, how will the resignations, if accepted, affect the Congress party's standing in Andhra Pradesh.
Here are the numbers.
In the 294-member AP assembly, the Congress, joined by the Praja Rajyam Party, has a combined strength of 173. The Telugu Desam party has 90 members, the Telangana Rashtra Samiti has 11 and others bring up 20.
On Monday, 35 Congress MLAs and 37 TDP babus from the Telangana region resigned and if their resignations are accepted the functioning strength of the Assembly will come down to 222 - 111 being the halfway mark.
The congress and PRP - even after the 35 resignations - will enjoy majority in the House with 138 MLAs and the TDP will have 53 members - strength of TRS and others will remain same.
According to latest reports, two MPs have submitted their resignations today.
