Hyderabad, October 15

Congress president Rahul Gandhi will address three public meetings in Telangana on October 20 to launch the party’s poll campaign here.

The Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) and BJP have already launched their campaigns. With the Congress rallies, the election fever is expected to gain momentum.

Telangana Congress president N Uttam Kumar Reddy on Monday inspected arrangements in Bhainsa near Adilabad where Gandhi will address the first public meeting. Reddy said Gandhi after arriving at Hyderabad would hoist the Congress flag near Charminar and would also interact with masses in the Muslim heartland. This area is the stronghold of All India Majlis-e-Ittehad-ul Muslimeen (AIMIM).

To mark the Rajiv Gandhi Sadbhavana Yatra commemoration day, former undivided Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister K Rosaiah will be conferred the Rajiv Gandhi Sadbhavana Yatra commemoration award. After Charminar, the Congress president will leave for Bhainsa.
