Holding up the party’s pink flags and pictures of the party chief as well as Congress president and United Progressive Alliance (UPA) chairperson Sonia Gandhi, the activists marched through the streets raising slogans of “Jai Telangana”.

KCR, whose 11-day fast forced the government to agree to the demand for Telangana state, and other top leaders did not participate in the rally in view of the tension and protests in Andhra and Rayalaseema regions against the bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh.
