“Every year… Remembering yesterday’s sacrifices… Reviewing tomorrow’s goals… An emotional context… June 2. Heartfelt wishes to all people on the Telangana State Formation Day celebrations,” Reddy said in a post on X.
Telangana Statehood Day is a public holiday across all 33 districts of the state. The main official celebrations typically feature the Chief Minister hoisting the national flag at the Secunderabad Parade Ground.
