WARANGAL: The ruling TRS is doing everything it can to make its foundation day public meeting a success. The meeting will be addressed by Chief Minister and party president K Chandrasekhar Rao.
TRS leaders are trying to mobilise people for the meeting scheduled to be held on April 27 at Prakashreddypet in Hanamkonda. Deputy Chief Minister Kadiyam Srihari, along with finance minister Etela Rajender, flagged off a publicity vehicle on Sunday at Hanamkonda to encourage people to attend the meeting.
TRS MLAs and leaders are engaged in a door-to-door campaign to mobilise people for the meeting. Warangal West MLA D Vinay Bhaskar visited houses in his constituency and requested people to attend the party’s public meeting.

Srihari told them that the party leadership expected a crowd of 20 lakh for the meeting and it would be mandatory for every leader to mobilise people from their respective constituencies.
