On August 18, Union Minister and state BJP President G Kishan Reddy had inspected the ground in Khammam where Shah is likely to address the public meeting.

Shah was supposed to attend the rally at Khammam in June itself but had to postpone due to severe cyclonic conditions that hit the west coast then.

 

Meanwhile, Kharge would release the party's 'SC, ST Declaration' at a public meeting to be held at Chevella near here on August 26, TPCC spokesperson Mahesh Konagala said.

Congress Legislature Party (CLP) leader Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka and other SC, ST leaders of the party from the state had a meeting with Kharge in Delhi on Sunday in connection with the 'SC, ST Declaration' and others.

The 'SC, ST Declaration' would be the third major declaration to be announced by the Congress.

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi had announced a 'farmers' declaration' at a public meeting at Warangal last year, while party General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra had released a youth declaration in Hyderabad in May this year.

Congress in Telangana is also planning to invite top leader Sonia Gandhi to the state in September.
