The Indian state of Telangana was founded in 2014. Its territory had formerly been part of Andhra Pradesh. The Telangana movement was instrumental in the creation of the new state, and Telangana Rashtra Samithi, a party which led the Telangana movement after 2001, forms the government in the Telangana Legislative Assembly under Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao.The political landscape of Telangana is primarily shaped by the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS), which has held power since the state's establishment in 2014. Founded in 2001 to champion the cause of a separate Telangana state, the TRS is a regional party led by the charismatic figure Kalvakuntla Chandrashekar Rao (KCR), who enjoys strong support among the people of Telangana.
In addition to the TRS, there are other noteworthy political entities in Telangana, namely the Indian National Congress (INC), the Telugu Desam Party (TDP), and the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM). While the INC and TDP were once dominant forces in the region, TRS has overshadowed them in recent years. The AIMIM, a party with a Muslim-majority following, wields significant influence in Hyderabad and other urban areas of Telangana.
Telangana movement
In the early Telangana movement, Marri Chenna Reddy formed a party called Telangana Praja Samithi to lead the Telangana movement. In November 1969, there was a major split in the party and as a result the movement declined. After two years the Telangana Praja Samithi was dissolved and its members rejoined the Congress.
A successor party, Telangana Rashtra Samithi, was formed in 2001 by Kalvakuntla Chandrashekar Rao (KCR). On 29 November 2009, KCR started a fast-unto-death, demanding that the Congress party introduce a Telangana bill in Parliament. Student organisations, employee unions, and various organisations joined the movement. As general strikes shut down much economic activity in Telangana, Telangana Bill was passed in Lok Sabha on 18 February 2014 and in Rajya Sabha on 18 February 2014. On 4 March 2014 the Government of India declared that 2 June would be the Telangana Formation Day.
