The midnight of December 9, 2009 will forever be etched in memory of Telangana supporters as the historic announcement on separate state as the then Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram read out a statement as the entire nation watched. It caught everyone by surprise as majority expected only a statement to soothe TRS chief K. Chandrashekar Rao to end his fast rather than the one made at that night. Lot of drama and emotions went into that bold decision. During his recent visit to Telangana Mr. Chidambaram was asked by a reporter if he could reveal what exactly happened behind the doors in the 12 hours preceding that historic statement. He smiled and quipped: “Let me keep something for my memoirs.”
