Insight into the past
As the leader of the movement, KCR went on a death march on November 29, 2009, to bring to reality the dream of the state of Telangana.
On November 29, 2009, when KCR was leaving from Uttara Telangana Bhavan in Karimnagar for his initiation to Siddipet, he was arrested by the police at Alugunoor Maneru Bridge, Karimnagar.
From there he was taken to Khammam jail and later to NIMS hospital where KCR’s struggle continued for 11 more days.
He ended his movement only after the UPA (United Progressive Alliance) government announced on December 9 that Telangana would be formed.
