The people of Telangana is celebrating the 8th Telangana Formation Day on the 2nd of June, 2021.   The day marks the existence of Telangana as an independent state, when it officially was separated from Andhra Pradesh (A.P.)

On the 2nd of June, 2014, Telangana emerged as a separate State from the united Andhra Pradesh under the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act of Parliament in 2014.  Though the Telangana Bill was passed in the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha in February 2014, it got approval from the President of India on the 1st March 2014.  Later, the Government of India declared the 2nd of June as the Telangana Formation Day. 

In 2020, the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) celebrated the day as a low key affair, due to the pandemic crisis of the Wuhan virus.  However, this time the TRS Government allowed celebration with limited invitees and a few restrictions.  

k.Chandrashekar Rao, the Chief Minister of Telangana and the Telangana Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan extended their wishes to the people on the occasion.  They aid floral tributes to Telangana Martyrs at Gun Park on the occasion of the Telangana Formation Day.

KCR said, “With many battles, sacrifices, martyrdom, we have achieved the Telangana State in a parliamentary democratic way.  The Telangana state is fulfilling the demands of the Separate Telangana statehood movement one by one.  Water for irrigation and drinking, Power, medical and Health, Roads and all other infrastructure facilities are being provided, reaching short-term and long-term aims.”

Ms. Tamilisai Soundararajan also expressed her happiness with the growth and development of the youngest State.   She said, “The State’s initiatives in irrigation, agriculture, Information Technology, pharmaceutical, and health sectors, welfare, and developmental activities in different spheres are helping the State emerge as a torchbearer in many sectors.”  She further said, “I am confident that with the inspired resilience of people, government, and the administration at all levels, soon we shall overcome this COVID-19 pandemic crisis. I wish that with the collective and committed efforts of all the sections of the people and the government the State will soon be transformed as the “Bangaru Telangana.”

Meanwhile, President of India Ram Nath Kovind and Prime Minister Narendra Modi also took to Twitter and extended greetings to Telangana and its people on the Telangana Formation Day.
