Hyderabad, Oct. 26: Union Home Minister Amit Shah will attend a Telangana BJP padayatra on November 2, state party president N. Ramchander Rao announced on Monday. The foot march aims to counter what the BJP describes as a “false narrative” by Congress against the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls.
The padayatra will be held a day after Congress’s planned rally against alleged “vote chori” at Ramlila Maidan in Delhi on November 1.
