The previous BRS (Bharat Rashtra Samithi) government had observed the day as *‘National Integration Day’* to honor the unity achieved through the merger. On the other hand, the current Congress government has renamed the day as *‘People’s Governance Day’*.

The BJP-led central government has consistently observed it as *‘Telangana Liberation Day’* for the past five years. Despite the varied names, the common goal remains the same—to honor the sacrifices made by the martyrs and remember the struggle for the region’s integration into India. These observances reflect the different political perspectives surrounding this significant day in Telangana’s history.

He said BJP leaders were twisting history and misleading people about the events of September 17. According to him, during the Telangana armed struggle against the Razakars, it was only communists who fought bravely. He added that their sacrifices helped shape Telangana’s freedom.

Narayana alleged that the BJP raises the issue every year only for political mileage. He recalled that both CPI and RSS were founded in 1925. Yet, no RSS worker had taken part in India’s independence struggle. He stressed that communists faced British bullets and lathis, and 4,500 members gave their lives for freedom.

The CPI leader urged BJP leaders to stop spreading false narratives about Telangana’s history. He also asked the Governor to act independently and not simply follow BJP’s instructions. Narayana said the spirit of the Telangana struggle belongs to the communists, not to the BJP.
