PNK Parishat observed the Foundation Day of Andhra Pradesh on 01.11.2022. It was the sacrifice of Late Potti Sreeramulu, freedom fighter who spent most of his time with Gandhi ji. He even participated in Salt Satyagraha with Gandhi Ji and was jailed on several occasions. Sriramulu’s stay at Sabarmati was epoch-making. For here was a seeker full of love and humility. His first fast, in March of 1946, had been to demand entry for Dalits into the Sri Venugopala Swamy Temple in Nellore and lasted only ten days. The second, in December of the same year, lasted nineteen days and demanded the opening of all the temples in Nellore to Dalits. The third and fourth, in 1948 and 1949, both demanded the declaration of a monthly ‘day of service’ to benefit the social uplift of Dalits,” Sriramulu took up the cause for a separate state for Telugu-speaking areas. Although the movement for a separate Telugu-speaking state goes way back to the early 1910s, Sriramulu began his fast-unto-death for a separate Andhra state on 19 October 1952. he tragically passed away on 15 December 1952. He had fasted for an astounding 58 days. His death caused a furore.On 19 December 1952, center agreed to grant statehood to Andhras,
After his death, the Telugu-speaking area of Andhra State was carved out of Madras State on 1 October 1953 with Kurnool as its capital city. More than three years later, on 1 November 1956, Andhra Pradesh came into existence with Hyderabad as its capital. We will be ever grateful to the great freedom fighter Late Potti Sreeramulu .
