Testing time for Rosaiah during Statehood agitation
The Hindu
He was the CM at one of the most turbulent phases in State
The 15 months that K. Rosaiah served as Chief Minister was perhaps the most turbulent phase of the separate Telangana agitation that culminated in formation of the State.
The fast paced developments that ignited the agitation during this period commenced with the Supreme Court verdict on October 9, 2009, hardly a month after Rosaiah took over as the CM, declaring Hyderabad as a free zone under Presidential Order where people from coastal districts can also seek employment.
The non-gazetted employees’ unions protested the judgment as they wanted Hyderabad to be part of zone six that was in Telangana. A series of meetings of employees took place after the protests, one of which was also attended by Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao, who spearheaded the agitation that later took an enormous form.
