"Jogulamba Gadwal Celebrates Dheeksha Day: Honoring KCR’s Historic Sacrifice for Telangana".
Gadwal : The Jogulamba Gadwal district resonated with the fervor of Dheeksha Day on Friday, commemorating a pivotal moment in Telangana’s history. Former MLC and Dheeksha Day district in-charge Karne Prabhakar, Alampur MLA Vijaya Reddy, and former Sports Authority Chairman Anjaneyulu Goud graced the event organized at the BRS party office under the leadership of Basu Hanumanthu Naidu.
The event highlighted the significant role of Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao (KCR) in the Telangana movement.

They described the day of KCR's indefinite hunger strike as a turning point in the fight for statehood, calling it a day that every Telangana citizen must remember.
The program began with floral tributes to the Telangana Talli statue, followed by the ceremonial pouring of milk on KCR's portrait and hoisting of the BRS party flag.
