Karnataka Elections 2023: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will on Saturday hold a 26-km long mega roadshow in Bengaluru as part of his election campaign in the poll-bound state for the Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP). The roadshow will be taken from Someshwara Bhawan (RBI Ground) Kadu to Malleshwara Temple and is expected to begin at around 12:30 PM. After this, the Prime Minister will address two public meetings, one in Badami at 3 pm and another In Haveri at 5 pm. PM Modi is doing electrifying campaigning for the ruling BJP in the state. He will again hold a roadshow, smaller than the one on Saturday, which will be around 6 km long in Bengaluru on Sunday from Kempegowda Statue, New Tippasandra to Trinity Circle, MG Road.
It was earlier planned to be a 10-Km long roadshow but taking the interest of students who will be appearing in the exam on May 7, the distance has been reduced. Notably, Karnataka will go to polls next week on May 10 while the counting of votes will take place on May 13.
On Sunday, the Prime Minister will also offer prayers at Nanjanagudu Shri Srikanteshwara Swami Temple in Karnataka at around 6 pm.
