Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu on Monday unveiled a 58-foot bronze statue of Potti Sriramulu, a freedom fighter, who had fasted unto death demanding to carve out a separate state from Madras for Telugu-speaking people. 

Sriramulu's



indefinite fast lasted for 58 days, and he died on December 15, 1952. As a fallout of this fasting, a separate state, Andhra Pradesh, was carved out from the then Madras state for the Telugu-speaking people, which ultimately led to the creation of other linguistic states in India.
