]]> *TPCC Chief Mahesh Kumar Goud* strongly criticized the BJP’s involvement in Telangana Liberation Day celebrations, questioning their relevance to *September 17. Speaking in a chit-chat, Goud asked, “What connection does BJP have with **September 17?” He highlighted that the BJP had no role in opposing the Razakars and in the Telangana armed struggle. Goud further criticized the BJP for its admiration of individuals like **Godse* and stated that the party has no historical association with India’s freedom movement.

He also questioned the BJP’s focus on Hyderabad while ignoring *Junagadh*, which also merged with India on September 17. Goud accused BJP leaders of using the occasion for political gain rather than honoring the real struggle for Telangana’s liberation.

Regarding the *Kavitha episode*, he stated that the Congress remains aligned with its principles, welcoming any new parties formed within a democratic framework.

]]> On September 17, 1948 , following *Operation Polo, the *Nizam of Hyderabad , who had initially resisted India’s integration, surrendered to the Indian government. The Nizam, once the ruler of Hyderabad State, yielded control after India’s military operation and formally joined the Indian Union.

The people, who had suffered under the Nizam’s reign, expressed their anger, especially towards those who had led the oppression, including the notorious Razakars. In recognition of the Nizam’s surrender, the Indian government appointed Raj Pramukh in Telangana to oversee the region.

As part of the post-operation restructuring, the Nizam was given special security. Khasim Razvi, the leader of the Razakars, was sent to Pakistan. The 1952 General Body elections brought an end to the oppressive rule, symbolizing a new chapter of governance that aimed to heal the wounds inflicted by the Nizam’s reign.
