As the Telangana Assembly elections approach closer, the ruling Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) is making aggressive preparations for large public gatherings aimed at rallying support, Telangana Today (TT) has reported. The rallies are likely to begin on October 16.

The planned massive rally is expected to be a significant political event in Telangana. The event will be organised in the vicinity of Devannapet and Unikicherla villages which is about eight kilometres away from Hanamkonda City and is part of Warangal, the report stated.

People aware of the news said that the event will draw people in large numbers going in the range of 1-1-.5 million. Earlier, the original plan was to schedule the event for September 4 to show BRS' political strength. However, later, the party's senior leadership decided to change the dates for the event.

The party has chosen Warangal to kickstart its rallies, given the political significance of the place. According to party insiders, the BRS considers Warangal as a symbol of auspiciousness, a sign of prosperity which could make things turn in the party's favour, the TT report said.
