Telangana CM A Revanth Reddy announced the annual 'Telangana Thalli' day on December 9, coinciding with Sonia Gandhi's birthday. Celebrating Telangana's formation, inspired by Congress leader Sonia Gandhi and former PM Manmohan Singh, the day will be marked by inaugurations of Telangana Thalli statues across district offices.

Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy announced on Tuesday that the state will commemorate 'Telangana Thalli' day annually on December 9, aligning it with Sonia Gandhi's birthday.

The decision came as part of a tribute to Congress leader Sonia Gandhi, credited for fulfilling the long-standing dream of Telangana's formation. Former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's vision is also noted as guiding the state's governance strategies.
