Prime Minister Narendra Modi was accorded a grand welcome by Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) workers at HAL Airport, as he arrived from Greece directly to the City to meet the scientists at Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) following the success of Chandrayaan-3.
Though the party’s State unit had organised a road show of the Prime Minister, the Prime Minister’s Office reportedly shot down the proposal. However, nearly a thousand party workers had gathered outside the HAL Airport, waving tricolours, on Saturday morning.
Mr. Modi addressed the crowd and said, though he was in Johannesburg and Greece over the past two days, mentally he was with the scientists at ISRO. “I wanted to meet them and congratulate them. So I came to Bengaluru directly from Greece,” he said, before raising the slogan “Jai Vignan, Jai Anusandhan.”
