Narendra Modi to address Telangana BJP meeting during his visit to state

Hyderabad: The TS BJP leadership has been successful in its efforts to bring about a change in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s scheduled programmes during his visit to the state on August 7, incorporating his participation in a party programme.

According to the original schedule, the PM will leave for Delhi at 6 pm on August 7 after launching the Mission Bhagiratha project and participate in a public meeting at Gajwel in Medak district. However, the schedule did not include the TS BJP convention at around 6 pm the same day as proposed earlier.

Noticing this, TS BJP leaders K. Laxman and G. Kishan Reddy spoke to the PMO and also to BJP national president Amit Shah’s office and said that it would be inappropriate if a party programme is not included in Modi’s maiden visit to TS as Prime Minister.

They have conveyed to the authorities that the PM was coming to TS for the first time since its formation, and his participation only in TRS government-sponsored programmes may not be appreciated by the BJP cadre. Sources said the PM himself made a few changes in his schedule and decided to allot one hour for the party meeting in Hyderabad at 6 pm.

TS BJP leaders said that the revised schedule would be conveyed to TS government in a day or two.
