History of Andhra Pradesh State Formation Day:
The region of Andhra Pradesh was part of the Madras Province during the colonial period. The region saw a strong movement for an independent state, and the new state, including the regions of Andhra and Rayalaseema, was carved out in 1953. With the addition of the Telangana region, the state of Andhra Pradesh came into existence on 1 November, 1956.
It was the first state in independent India to be formed on a linguistic basis.
Bifurcation of Telangana:
However, the demand for a separate state of Telangana soon rose in the region. Andhra Pradesh was bifurcated in 2014, with the then Telegu Desam Party (TDP) led government refusing to observe 1 November as Andhra Pradesh State Formation Day over the separation of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.
In 2014, then Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu declared the observance of Nava Nirman Deeksha (resolve to rebuild) every year, from 2 to 8 June. The government marked 2 June as the Appointed Day for state bifurcation to mark the state government’s resolve to rebuild the state and 8 June was the day when the first government was formed after the bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh.
After the government of YS Jagan Mohan Reddy came to power in 2019, Andhra Pradesh Formation Day was once again celebrated on 1 November.
