Senior BJP leader and Union Home Minister Amit Shah will be visiting Hyderabad today. He will be interacting with BJP social media strategists and will be addressing a meeting of polling booth presidents of the party. The meeting called ‘Vijay Sankalp Sammelan’ is scheduled to be held at L.B. Stadium at 1 p.m. Mr. Shah is also expected to give direction to Telangana state BJP leadership on the strategy to be adopted for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. This is Mr Shah’s first visit to Telangana after the recent Assembly elections, in which BJP secured eight seats in the 119-member House.
