Rahul Gandhi, vice-president of the AICC, was greeted warmly at Shamshabad Airport in Hyderabad, ahead of his public gathering in Hanamkonda, Warangal district. Senior party leaders such as TS-PCC Chief Revanth Reddy, CLP leader Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka, and others have welcomed Rahul Gandhi. Rahul Gandhi would go to Warangal from Hyderabad in a helicopter, possibly accompanied by Revanth Reddy and Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka. Rahul Gandhi is set to announce the 'Warangal Declaration,' a proposal on many agricultural issues that would likely act as a rallying point for the Congress in Telangana, where farmers are reportedly the hardest hit.
