Hyderabad: The Telangana Formation Day celebrations to be held at Golconda fort on Friday, being organised by the Central government, will see the attendance of a wide section of people who played an active role in the struggle for statehood, Union minister for culture G. Kishan Reddy has said.

Speaking to mediapersons after inspecting the preparations at the fort, Reddy said Telangana was made possible not just by one person or a small group of people but with the involvement of every section of the society in the state.

“The BJP played a key role and was the only national party to join the political joint action committee (JAC) and was also at the forefront of various agitations and stood solidly with the people of the state at every step of the way, including ensuring the passage of the Bill in Parliament that made statehood possible,” he said.

Kishan Reddy will unfurl the National Flag at 7 am, followed by a parade by contingents of Central forces. In addition to cultural programmes by well-known artistes at the fort and competitions for school children, there will also be two photo exhibitions, one depicting the work done by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government in the country over the past nine years, and another showcasing BJP’s role in the statehood movement, he said.

Last year, the Central government celebrated Telangana Formation Day in Delhi and this year, it is doing so in Hyderabad at Golconda fort,” he said.
