State committee members as well as state ministers, members of the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, legislators, members of the Legislative Council, state level corporation chairpersons, Zilla Parishad chairpersons, municipal mayors, DCCB presidents, and DCMS presidents, will attend the meeting.

As per the release the TRS Party membership renewals, appointments of the party committees from village level to the state level, election of the party president, party annual day meeting on April 27 and other party's institutional issues will be discussed at length," it said. There is also a probability of discussing KCR's birthday celebrations which falls on February 17 fuelling speculation that he might make a surprise declaration.
