Jai Andhra Movement: Background and Context

  • The Jai Andhra Movement was a major agitation in the Andhra region of Andhra Pradesh during 1972–73, demanding a separate Andhra State and opposing the continuation of special safeguards for Telangana.

  • Kasu Brahmananda Reddy resigned as Chief Minister in September 1971 after the Central leadership decided to appoint a Telangana-region leader to address the political consequences of the 1969 Telangana Movement.

  • P. V. Narasimha Rao, from Karimnagar in Telangana, became Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh on 30 September 1971.

  • After assuming office, the Narasimha Rao government took measures aimed at implementing Mulki Rules and identifying non-local personnel in Telangana for appropriate action.

  • On 14 February 1972, a five-member Andhra Pradesh High Court Bench held the Mulki Rules unconstitutional.

  • Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, addressing a public meeting at the Azamjahi Mills grounds in Warangal on 17 February 1972, stated that steps would be taken to ensure that Telangana was not subjected to injustice.

  • The State Government challenged the High Court ruling in the Supreme Court, with K. Narasinga Rao, P. V. Narasimha Rao's brother-in-law, arguing the case.
