All three major parties in Telangana, the BRS, the Congress and the BJP are set to conduct public meetings at different venues on Tuesday

Hyderabad: In tune with rising summer temperatures, the political heat in the State is also all set to shoot up a bit in the State on Tuesday with all three major parties here, the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), the Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to conduct public meetings at different venues.

Though the Lok Sabha election schedule is yet to be announced, political parties are already getting into poll mode. Even as the ruling Congress is leaving no stone unturned to seek people’s support, the BRS is countering the government’s narrative and exposing its failures. Similarly, the BJP is keen on increasing its numbers from Telangana in these elections.
