Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar will arrive in Belagavi to participate in the Dasara celebrations of Hukkeri Math on Wednesday.
He is also expected to hold an informal meeting of party office-bearers and legislators from the district.
The tour that was planned a week ago has gained political significance in the wake of attempts by Public Works Minister Satish Jarkiholi to take a group of Congress MLAs on a tour of Mysuru during the festive season.
