BRS working president K.T. Rama Rao marked December 9 as a historic day that set Telangana’s statehood process in motion. He posted old photos of K. Chandrashekar Rao ending his fast, and said the final phase of the Telangana movement reached a turning point on this day. KTR noted that 16 years have passed since the Union government announced the start of the state formation process.
He said the combined struggle of all communities, the sacrifices of martyrs, and KCR’s indefinite fast pushed the Centre to respond. According to him, the movement’s intensity forced Delhi to recognise the demand for a separate state. KTR added that the people’s determination created an unstoppable wave for Telangana’s identity.
KTR also stressed that November 29, observed as Deeksha Day, played a key role in shaping the final outcome. He said the fast taken up by KCR on that day strengthened the movement and united lakhs of supporters across the state. The emotional force behind the protest made the demand reach national attention.
He further said December 9 would not exist without November 29, and June 2 would not exist without December 9. He called the sequence a reminder of Telangana’s long struggle and people’s resilience.
