On Friday evening, Prime Minister Modi held a roadshow in the Malkajgiri Lok Sabha constituency in Hyderabad. Donning a saffron-colored cap, PM stood atop an open-roof vehicle, waving to the crowds lining both sides of the road who enthusiastically greeted him. Some spectators even gathered on building terraces to catch a glimpse of the Prime Minister.

According to a statement released by the BJP, Modi is scheduled to address a rally in Jagtial on March 18.

With an eye on significant electoral gains in the southern region, the BJP is actively campaigning. In the 2019 general elections, the party secured four out of the total 17 Lok Sabha seats in Telangana. Opting to contest independently in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections in Telangana, the BJP is optimistic about improving its electoral performance.
