Union Home Minister Amit Shah is set to visit Telangana again for the countdown to the World Yoga Day celebrations at the L.B. Stadium on May 27, in the presence of Union Minister for Tourism, Culture and Development of Northeast Region, G. Kishan Reddy, and other senior BJP leaders. World Yoga Day is on June 21.
Party sources informed that Mr.Shah is likely to arrive the night before, participate in the yoga programme on May 27 and leave for New Delhi later that day. It is not yet clear if there will be any formal meeting with the local party leaders though it is quite certain they will be receiving him and seeing him off at the airport, and hence, there is a likelihood of a tete-a-tete.
The party is leaving no stone unturned to make a strong pitch in Telangana which is slated to go to polls after the Karnataka elections. More visits by top BJP leaders are very much expected in the coming months.
