In what is expected to galvanise the BJP cadre in an election year, the arrival of Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday for a hectic two-day visit to Karnataka, after about two years, is being keenly watched.
The highlight of the trip is his participation in the International Day of Yoga function in the backdrop of the iconic Mysuru palace on Tuesday.
The party that has been waiting to kick-start preparations to the Legislative Assembly elections next year, and a possible election to the BBMP Council, will be expecting some kind of a start from the Prime Minister’s visit, as he is also scheduled to lay the foundation for public utilities projects.
