Permanent members of the executive committee of the Congress, Hariprasad and former union minister M.Veerappa Moily will be among those present.
Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has also got the invitation as the party high command has invited four chief ministers of Congress-ruled states.DyCM and Karnataka Congress President D.K.Shivakumar had already left for Hyderabad.
