He will then proceed to Chevella for another meeting. His day-long-visit will conclude with a roadshow in Malkajgiri constituency in Hyderabad.
The BJP plans to focus on Telangana after the campaigning comes to an end in Rajasthan on November 23.
Elections for 119-member Telangana Assembly are scheduled on November 30. The saffron party is planning 50 public meetings in the last five days. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Shah, Nadda, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and several Union Ministers will participate in the campaign. The saffron party is said to have prepared the manifesto with the ‘Indradhanush’.

As part of the efforts to woo BC voters, the party held a public meeting in Hyderabad on November 7 with the title ‘BC Atma Gaurav sabha’ (BC self-respect meeting) and it was addressed by Prime Minister Modi. Three days later, Modi addressed another public meeting in Hyderabad which was organised by Madiga Reservation Porata Samithi (MRPS). He declared that BJP is committed to sub-categorisation of Scheduled Castes (SCs) for reservation and announced that a committee will be constituted which will explore all options for empowerment for Madigas.
