party
cadres there.

"The party is organising a massive rally of Narendra Modi in Telangana in December, the dates are yet to be finalised," party leader Venkaiah Naidu told reporters here.

The rally lead by our Prime Ministerial candidate L K Advani on November 13 was a massive success, people are now looking forward to BJP for the creation of the Telangana state, he added.

Sources in the party said Modi has been selected for the job for his pro-development image.

Advani had in a rally in Hyderabad last week announced that the saffron party, if voted to power, would initiate the process of Telangana formation within 100 days.

When asked if the party feels the probability of TRS joining back the Congress fold, which is seen as a probable threat to its prospects, he said, "we cannot help if the goat lays faith on the butcher".
