Depending on their availability, Revanth would meet them to discuss issues related to Banakacherla and other irrigation projects being undertaken by Andhra Pradesh, which are detrimental to Telangana's river water share.
The CM is likely to meet Union road transport and highways minister Nitin Gadkari, seeking approval and funding for the southern corridor of the Regional Ring Road (RRR) project, and cabinet approvals for both the northern and southern corridors of the project. The Congress govt in the state has already declared the area between the Outer Ring Road (ORR) and the proposed RRR as Telangana's semi-urban area, where industrial clusters would be set up.
Revanth would also address the issue of the Musi rejuvenation project, industrial and defence corridors, and fertiliser supply, and seek forest and environmental clearances for various projects. The CM, along with minister D Sridhar Babu and PonnamPrabhakar, was supposed to meet Union home minister Amit Shah during his visit to Telangana recently. However, Shah, due to his busy schedule, did not meet even his party leaders who had planned a programme at the Begumpet airport.
Revanth is also set to invite AICC leader Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi for the public meetings to be organised in Telangana.
In May, Revanth had met Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the national capital and urged him to approve a dedicated channel for Telangana to attract global investments and boost exports.
He also requested the issuance of a notification for the Hyderabad-Bengaluru defence corridor, support for defence and aerospace projects, approval to include Telangana in India's Semiconductor Mission, and the Union cabinet's approval and funding for Hyderabad Metro rail expansion, RRR, and the dry port greenfield corridor with dedicated railway lines around it. He met the Prime Minister immediately after the NITI Aayog meeting.

The high-profile event, led by BJP national president J P Nadda , is expected to conclude with a valedictory address by Union Home Minister Amit Shah . The camp has drawn several senior leaders from both state and national levels, including chief minister Vishnu Deo Sai, deputy chief minister Vijay Sharma, ten state ministers, 44 MLAs, and ten BJP MPs. CM Sai, deputy CM Sharma, MP Brijmohan Agrawal and MLA Sunil Soni arrived in Ambikapur by the Durg–Ambikapur Express on Sunday night and were escorted to Manpat by convoy on Monday morning. Nadda is scheduled to land at Darima's Maa Mahamaya Airport via a special aircraft and will travel to Manpat by helicopter. Organisers stated that the camp is exclusively intended for lawmakers and MPs and focuses on professional training related to governance, policy outreach, and public engagement. Speaking at the event, CM Sai said the training will include 12 thematic sessions delivered by national experts, including Union Ministers Shivraj Singh Chouhan and B L Santosh.

State Finance Minister O P Chaudhary noted that such events highlight local identity and promote cultural recognition. However, Congress state communications chief Sushil Anand Shukla criticised the camp, calling it 'political tourism.' He alleged that the purpose of the event is to teach leaders 'how to use corrupt funds without getting caught.'
