A meeting of the top leaders is expected to be chaired by party chief K Chandrashekhar Rao this week, where separate committees will be appointed to oversee the arrangements including venue arrangements, route planning, security and logistics. Organising committees are being formed across Telangana, with coordination at the constituency level to ensure participation from all districts.

After inspecting multiple locations, the party high command finalised Elkathurthy, located at the junction of NH-563 and NH-765DG, ensuring connectivity from all parts of Telangana. The party leaders have already submitted a representation to the Kazipet ACP for security arrangements and traffic management. The meeting is aimed at showcasing the party’s strength following its defeat in Assembly and Lok Sabha polls.

Over 1,213 acres have been secured for the event, with 154 acres allocated for the main venue, 1,059 acres designated for parking to accommodate around 50,000 vehicles, including RTC buses and private transport, ferrying people from all across the State. Farmers owning these lands have also been consulted, with no-objection approvals secured for utilising lands for the public meeting.

With rising summer temperatures, the party leaders were instructed to prioritise public convenience. To tackle the scorching heat, BRS is ensuring supply of over 10 lakh water bottles and another 10 lakh buttermilk packets for attendees to prevent dehydration. Around 1,500 volunteers will be deployed for crowd management. Ambulances will be stationed along major highways – along Warangal-Karimnagar Highway and Siddipet-Elkathurthy Highway for medical emergencies.
