New Delhi: Union Home Minister Amit Shah will visit Telangana today and address a public meeting to mark the culmination of the month-long 'Praja Sangrama Yatra' Phase-2 organised by party Telangana unit president Bandi Sanjay. Around 3 pm Shah will visit the forensic science laboratory at Ramanthapur in the capital Hyderabad.

The Home Minister will then hold a public meeting at Tukkuguda municipality on the outskirts of the city at 6.30 pm.

BJP leaders expect Amit Shah's visit to the state will boost the morale of party workers and set the stage for the upcoming elections.

Union Minister G Kishan Reddy, while inspecting the venue on Friday, expressed confidence in BJP returning to power in the assembly elections scheduled next year, reported news agency PTI.

Amit Shah will be visiting the state for the first time after Huzurabad by-election in November last year.
