A 58-foot statue of Potti Sriramulu, a key figure in the formation of Andhra Pradesh, will be installed in Amaravati as a tribute to his pivotal role. Sriramulu's 58-day hunger strike in 1952 was crucial for the state's creation. The statue, along with a memorial, will be completed before his next birth anniversary. The installation of this statue honours his sacrifice and highlights his contribution to the formation of the state, along with further developments planned in his native village.
