Modi to address rally

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be addressing a rally being organised by the Madiga Reservation Porata Samithi, a community organisation of Madigas, one of the biggest constituents of scheduled castes in Telugu states, at the Parade Ground on Saturday.

This is Modi's second rally in a row in the city after the notification for the polls was announced on November 3.
