Kadapa (AP): The ongoing agitation against the bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh is likely to cast a shadow on the much-publicised BJP rally to be addressed by Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi at Hyderabad on Sunday.
Coastal Andhra and Rayalaseema regions are witnessing widespread agitation ever since the Congress announced decision to create Telangana state on July 30.

They added that the attendance from Rayalaseema may not be more than 400-500 people for the Modi meeting, which is a prestigious event for BJP.
