Prime Minister Narendra Modi has appealed to his party workers in Telangana, on Sunday to carry out the much talked about “Tiranga Yatra” on bikes starting from August 15 to September 17 across the state.
The BJP government in Telangana has been demanding to further hold an official celebration of the ‘Hyderabad Liberation Day’ on September 17, the day on which the erstwhile Nizam’s state had been merged with the Indian Union. The Hyderabad State under the Nizam rule was merged with the Indian Union on September 17, 1948 which was followed by a ‘police action’.
