Hyderabad :

June 8 every year is to be the Formation Day of the state of residuary Andhra Pradesh. The N Chandrababu Naidu government had taken a decision to this effect and the same will be formalized in the next few days or at the cabinet meeting slated to be held on October 30.

Telangana is celebrating its Formation Day on June 2. Although the Appointed Date for the formation of the two states as per the AP Reorganization Act was June 2, 2014, the TDP government has chosen to declare June 8 as the Formation Day on the grounds that it was on that day that a popular government headed by Chandrababu Naidu took over the reins of the state.

With this, November 1, which was celebrated as AP Formation Day so far, will lose its relevance.
