Whose death was responsible for the formation of Andhra Pradesh?

Potti Sriramulu

The correct answer is Option 2: Potti Sriramulu

The death of Potti Sriramulu was responsible for the formation of Andhra Pradesh. Potti Sriramulu was an Indian freedom fighter and political activist who died in 1952 while undertaking a hunger strike to demand the creation of a separate state for Telugu-speaking people. His death led to widespread protests and eventually compelled the Indian government to form Andhra Pradesh in 1953, the first state in India created on a linguistic basis. It also led to the formation of the SRC, which in 1956 put the formal, final seal of approval on the principle of linguistic states.
