The correct answer is D) 2014.
Telangana officially became a separate state of India on June 2, 2014. It was carved out of the southern state of Andhra Pradesh. The formation of Telangana was a long-standing demand of the people of the region, who felt that they were being discriminated against by the Andhra Pradesh government. The Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS), a regional political party, led the movement for statehood.
The TRS won a landslide victory in the 2014 assembly elections in Telangana. The party’s leader, K. Chandrashekar Rao, became the first chief minister of Telangana.
The formation of Telangana has been a major political development in India. It has led to the creation of a new state with a population of over 35 million people. The new state is expected to have a significant impact on the economy and politics of India.
