"Both will be participating in a public meeting tomorrow (Friday)," Sravan Dasoju, chief spokesperson of the Congress' Telangana unit told PTI.
This is Sonia Gandhi's first visit to Telangana after the formation of the state in June 2014.

The Congress has forged a 'grand alliance' with the TDP, Telangana Jana Samithi and CPI to take on the TRS in the December 7 elections to the 119-member assembly.
The party is contesting in 94 seats, leaving the rest to its all allies.
