Prior to the public meeting, Shah will inaugurate an exhibition on the 46-year journey of Bhagyanagar Ganesh Utsav Samiti, BJP sources said. Shah will also hold a meeting with party leaders. He would later virtually lay the foundation stone of Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB’s) 28th battalion headquarters.

Meanwhile, Rao welcomed the central government’s move to reduce the GST slabs and described the reduction in GST rates as a “historic decision”. He opined that the GST rejig would reduce the prices of essential commodities, benefitting the poor and middle class.

Replying to a query on former BRS leader K Kavitha, he said that there is no place for “corrupt” people in the BJP, whether it is Kavitha or somebody else. After her suspension from KCR-led BRS, Kavitha on Wednesday announced her resignation from the party.
