Following are the major events in the history of Telangana, which Monday came into being as 29th state in India.
Politics is where there are no long-term friends or foes. There was a time when Telangana BJP leader Kishan Reddy was a close confidant of BJP’s national leader and union minister Venkaiah Naidu. When Venkaiah Naidu was the national-level president of BJP, Kishan Reddy worked as the national president of BJP’s yuva morcha.
Jai Kumar is a resident of Uppal in Hyderabad and his wife, who is a Central government employee, hails from Kadapa. But on Monday, when the State is bifurcated and ushers in many changes, they feel it remains the same.
YSR Congress party, which strongly opposed the bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh, has also decided to celebrate the formation of the Telangana State on Monday in all the 10 districts of the State.
The Telugu Desam Party leaders are likely to skip the swearing-in ceremony of TRS chief K Chandrasekhar Rao as the first Chief Minister of Telangana.
Telangana Rashtra Samithi, which had just three MLAs more than the absolute majority in the State Assembly received unusual boost on Sunday, when two legislators of Bahujan Samaj Party from Telangana region decided to merge with the TRS.
About a half day before his swearing in as Chief Minister of Telangana State, TRS Chief K Chnadrashekhar Rao on Sunday went into a huddle with his close associates of the party.
Telangana Rashtra Samithi president K Chandrasekhar Rao appears to be have decided to give a damn to the criticism that he is promoting family rule in the party and the government.
