A 58-feet statue of Amarajeevi Potti Sreeramulu is being erected in Amaravati for his 125th birth anniversary, with each foot representing one day of his historic 58-day hunger strike for Andhra Pradesh's formation. The Andhra Pradesh Government is developing a comprehensive cultural complex featuring the statue, museum, theatre, and tourism center, inviting global Telugu participation through transparent donations with recognition certificates and name plaques for contributors. Following year-long statewide celebrations, Chief Minister Sri Nara Chandrababu Naidu will inaugurate this beacon of unity and remembrance on March 16th, 2026, in a historic ceremony expected to draw thousands.
Born on March 16, 1901, Potti Sreeramulu garu was a devoted Indian freedom fighter, widely honored as “Amarajeevi” for his unwavering commitment to the Andhra cause. He gained national recognition through a 58-day hunger strike, demanding the creation of a separate state for Telugu-speaking people. His passing on December 15, 1952, sparked widespread public protests and grief, prompting Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru to announce the formation of Andhra State just four days later, on December 19, 1952. Sreeramulu’s selfless sacrifice played a pivotal role in the birth of a Telugu-speaking state, marking a historic milestone in India’s linguistic and cultural identity.
A 58-ft statue is being built to honour Amarajeevi Potti Sreeramulu, whose 58-day hunger strike led to the formation of Andhra Pradesh.
