With the BJP seeking to position itself as the main challenger to the ruling TRS, its youth wing BYJM will organise a three-day hi-tech "mega summit" in poll-bound Telangana starting Friday.
Party president Amit Shah will address a rally on the concluding day of the event.
Bhartiya Janta Yuva Morcha (BJYM) chief Poonam Mahajan Tuesday announced that the three-day 'Yuva Mahadhiveshan' would be held from October 26 in Hyderabad.
Addressing a press conference at the party office, Mahajan said the summit would be inaugurated by Home Minister Rajnath Singh and it would conclude with a rally by BJP chief Amit Shah on October 28.
"This will be the party's first mega youth summit in South India and more than 72,000 office-bearers of the BJP's youth wing will attend this event, where they will be addressed by number of senior party leaders and Union ministers," she said.
She said more than two lakh people were expected to attend Shah's rally on the concluding day.

About the events and programmes planned for the summit, Mahajan said this exercise was aimed to prepare party's youth workers for the 2019 general elections and a political resolution would be passed during the event.
The summit will be completely digital. A QR code will be provided to each participant so that he or she can be informed about schedule and programmes, Mahajan said.
A special "NaMo zone" would also be set up there, where all youth workers would be briefed about the 'Namo' App' and how to use it, she said.
The convention in Hyderabad will see massive participation from the North Eastern states, which is testimony to the success of BJP's 'Act East' policy, Mahajan said, adding a record participation of women are also expected.
Several chief ministers, Union ministers and all former presidents of the BJYM would attend the summit, she added.
The BJYM is organising rallies in states such as West Bengal and Kerala where the BJP had never been in power and aiming to boost its Lok Sabha tally in the 2019 elections.
This is the third such rally in the series.
