Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu will unveil a 58-foot bronze statue of Potti Sriramulu on March 16, commemorating the leader's 125th birth anniversary. Known for his indefinite fast demanding a separate Telugu state, Sriramulu's 58-day fast in 1952 led to the creation of Andhra state. The 'Statue of Sacrifice' will be installed on a 6.8-acre site in Amaravati's greenfield capital, with Minister S Savitha overseeing the statue's inspection at Thulluru village.
