Kejriwal and Mann arrive in Hyderabad for BRS public meeting

Hyderabad: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and his Punjab counterpart Bhagwant Mann arrived here on Tuesday to attend a public meeting to be organized by ruling BRS at Khammam town tomorrow.

Kejriwal and Mann were received at the Begumpet airport here this evening by Telangana Home Minister Mohd Mahmood Ali, official sources said.

Along with the two AAP leaders, Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, CPI General Secretary D Raja, and Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav would attend the BRS meet to be held at Khammam, about 200 km from here, on Wednesday.

The meeting assumes political significance as it is the first public meeting after the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) decided to go national by renaming itself as BRS and also because leaders of different opposition parties — BRS, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), Samajwadi Party and the Left — would be seen together.

BRS president and Telangana CM K Chandrasekhar Rao and the visiting leaders would on Wednesday go to the Lord Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy temple at Yadadri near Hyderabad which has been renovated on a grand scale by the state government, before proceeding to Khammam.

At Khammam, they would attend the launch of the second phase of ‘Kanti Velugu’, the Telangana government’s eye screening program, before taking part in the public meeting, BRS sources said.
