The Governor of Telangana greeted the people of the state on Telangana Foundation Day (June 2).
Introduction:
On 2 June 2014, the 29th state of Telangana was carved out of the north-western part of Andhra Pradesh.
The Andhra State Act (1953) separated the Telugu-speaking regions from the Madras State (now Tamil Nadu) to form the first linguistic state in India, known as the State of Andhra.
Under the States Reorganization Act (1956), the Telugu speaking areas of Hyderabad State were merged with Andhra State to form a larger Andhra Pradesh State.
The Andhra Pradesh Reorganization Act (2014) bifurcated Andhra Pradesh into two separate states, (i.e. Andhra Pradesh (Remaining) and Telangana).
