Hyderabad, December 09: Jubilations broke out in the city tonight moments after the Centre conceded to demands for a separate Telengana state carved out of Andhra Pradesh and made an announcement in this regard in New Delhi.
Supporters of Telangana took to the streets to celebrate the news and many of them flocked to the Nizam Institute of Medical Sciences (NIMS) here where TRS chief K Chandrasekhara Rao is kept under observation after he began a fast-unto-death for a separate state.
Slogans like ‘Hail KCR, hail Telangana’ filled the air as the supporters marched towards NIMS dancing, singing and bursting crackers.
Senior TRS leaders are expecting Chief Minister Rosaiah to come over to formally inform Rao about the latest development.
