India's 29th state Telangana to be born midnight
Rao is all over Hyderabad in posters and cut outs while the city is awashed with pink, the colour of the TRS.
A song- 'Jaya Jayahe Telangana' written by lyricist Ande Sri - chosen as the Telangana state song will be played across Hyderabad during midnight as the people welcomed the new state.
Rao will address the state on Monday laying a road map for the new state.
The State has been divided into Telangana with 10 districts while the residual State of Andhra Pradesh (Seemandhra) will have 13 districts.
