Around one lakh people are likely to turn up for the mega event.
Revanth Reddy helmed the Congress party’s spirited poll campaign in Telangana and defeat one of the tallest leaders the state have produced – BRS chief K Chandrashekhar Rao.
KCR ruled Telangana for two consecutive terms and it is the first time the Congress has come to power in the state it created in 2014.
The Congress party won 64 seats and reduced KCR’s party to just 39 in the recently concluded state assembly elections.
