Paper I · 10 History of Telangana & the Statehood Movement · 10.6 Andhra Pradesh and the Telangana statehood movement (1956–2014)

10.6.4 The 2001–2009 phase: new parties, the joint action committee and the December 2009 announcement

After two quiet decades the Telangana demand revived in the late 1990s through students, writers and intellectuals, took party form with the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (27 April 2001), entered national politics through the 2004 alliance and the UPA's promise of consultations, and peaked in late 2009, when K. Chandrashekar Rao's fast led the Union Home Minister to announce on 9 December 2009 that the process of forming Telangana would begin, a statement modified on 23 December after counter-protests; a Telangana Joint Action Committee was formed that month.
