Deeksha divas is the day when KCR the Telangana Chief Minister has started fast unto death for the sake of achieving Telangana. It is 10 years for the event and it is an important milestone for the people of Telangana.
The fast unto death has actually made the Congress Government and Sonia Gandhi to announced the statehood for Telangana. The MPs under the leadership of Joginapally Santosh Kumar have paid rich tributes to the martyrs memorial here in Delhi and remembered the day.
It was the day when KCR took the oath that he would die or get Telangana statehood for the sake of the oppressed people.
It may be recalled that KCR was arrested and admitted to NIMS hospital where he continued the hunger strike. He called off the hunger strike after he was informed that the Congress has promised to give statehood to Telangana. An announcement to this effect was made by the then Union Minster Chidmabram who is no going around Jails.
MP Joginapally Santosh Kumar was behind KCR all the time during the deeksha even after admitting him at NIMS. Santosh followed him like a shadow all the time.
