In a significant announcement, Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy stated that December 9 will be celebrated annually as 'Telangana Thalli' inauguration day. This commemoration aligns with the birthday of Congress leader Sonia Gandhi, lauded for fulfilling the regional aspiration for statehood.

Reddy underscored the profound inspiration drawn from Sonia Gandhi and former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, noting their pivotal roles in realizing and guiding the vision for Telangana's formation. Their legacies, he said, will be mirrored in the state's welfare initiatives and governance practices.

The date marks the day in 2009 when then Union Home Minister P Chidambaram announced the official initiation of Telangana's formation process, a move celebrated by Telangana's leaders and citizens who cherish Gandhi's contribution to their state's history.
