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.

On the occasion of ‘Deeksha Divas’, Rao highlighted the 2009 November 29 hunger strike that transformed the Telangana movement. He said the protest created a new chapter in history and laid the foundation for the state.

Rao emphasized that KCR’s leadership inspired four crore people to fight tirelessly for Telangana. He added that the movement demanded courage, sacrifices, and dedication beyond holding official positions. Rao described KCR as the unwavering signature on Telangana’s enduring history.

He further stated that without KCR’s protest starting November 29, the December 9 announcement creating Telangana would not have occurred. The decade-long struggle, not the rulers’ generosity, achieved the statehood. Rao said the memories of KCR’s dedication continue to inspire Telangana’s spirit among people.
