Hyderabad: Congress senior leader Rahul Gandhi is likely to visit Telangana in April-end, said Telangana Congress president A Revanth Reddy on Friday. The party also decided to lay siege to Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao's camp office – Pragati Bhavan on April 14, he informed.

Revanth on Friday held a meeting with party senior leaders and discussed the action plan to intensify agitations on people issues before the arrival of Rahul Gandhi to Telangana. He instructed the leaders to organise regular dharnas, rallies and protests against the State and Union governments in their respective districts and Assembly constituencies.

Leaders said that the TPCC chief told his party men to work hard and expose the TRS-BJP nexus in the State.
