KCR’s Indefinite Fast Pivotal Moment in Telangana Statehood Movement, Says Harish Rao
Hyderabad: Telangana MLA and former minister Harish Rao has declared that K. Chandrashekar Rao’s (KCR) indefinite fast was a turning point in the Telangana statehood movement. In a statement released yesterday, Rao asserted that the 2009 fast paved the way for the formation of the state.
“On November 29, 2009, KCR began his indefinite hunger strike, igniting the movement with the slogan ‘Telangana Achieved, or KCR Dies!'” Rao stated. “He relentlessly fought for the aspirations of four crore people. KCR demonstrated immense courage, even preparing to sacrifice his life for the state. His name is heroically etched in Telangana’s immortal history.”
Rao emphasized the importance of the fast, stating, “Without KCR’s fast on November 29th, there would be no December 9th announcement. Without the December 9th announcement, there would be no Telangana state. The state of Telangana was achieved through decades of struggle, not through the benevolence of rulers.”
Rao shared his sentiments on X, recalling the period of KCR’s fast as a time etched in his heart.
