BRS Calls for Grand Celebration of Diksha Divas on November 29
Hyderabad: KT Rama Rao, the Working President of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), has urged party cadres to celebrate Diksha Divas (Day of Protest) on November 29 with great enthusiasm and grandeur at all constituency centres across the state. The event holds immense significance for the people of Telangana, marking a pivotal moment in the state’s struggle for statehood.
On November 29, 2009, K Chandrashekar Rao, the then-president of the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (now BRS), began an indefinite hunger strike that became a turning point in the Telangana movement. His act of protest reignited the demand for a separate state, laying a solid foundation for the eventual achievement of Telangana’s statehood.
As per a press release from the party, KCR’s hunger strike was not merely a personal sacrifice; it became a powerful rallying point, uniting the people of Telangana and galvanizing support for the statehood cause. This historic day continues to inspire and resonate with the people of the region, and the BRS intends to honor it with celebrations reflecting the significance of this struggle.
The party’s call to observe Diksha Divas in a grand manner reflects its commitment to remembering and reinforcing the sacrifices that led to Telangana’s formation, while also energizing the current generation to continue upholding the values of the movement.
