In a video clip shared by ANI on Twitter, PM Modi can be witnessed as waving his hand to hoard of people gathered at both sides of roads shouting slogans and waving BJP flags. 

The Vande Bharat Inaugural Special and the Bharat Gaurav Kashi Darshan trains were kicked off by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday at Bengaluru's Krantiveera Sangoli Rayanna (KSR) railway station.

Basavaraj Bommai, the chief minister of Karnataka, Ashwini Vaishnaw, Pralhad Joshi, the minister of coal, and Thaawar Chand Gehlot, the governor of Karnataka, were in attendance with PM Modi.

This is the first Vande Bharat Express train to travel through south India and the sixth overall. The communication between Chennai, Bengaluru, and Mysuru would be improved. At 05:20 on Friday, the KSR Bengaluru-MGR Chennai Central Vande Bharat Inaugural Special will arrive at MGR Chennai Central.

Additionally, he opened Bengaluru's Kempegowda International Airport's brand-new Terminal 2. At the Bengaluru International Airport, a brand-new opulent terminal was constructed for around Rs 5,000 crore, PTI reported.

The opening of T2 will significantly benefit the populace by doubling the number of check-in and immigration counters and the passenger processing capacity.

From the existing yearly capacity of 2.5 crore, Terminal 2 would be able to accommodate about 5–6 crore people. The passenger experience at Terminal 2 is envisioned to be like taking a "walk in the garden," paying homage to Bengaluru's Garden City.

The 10,000+ square metres of green walls, hanging gardens, and outdoor gardens that passengers will pass through were all created in India using local materials and techniques.

This airport has already set a standard for sustainability thanks to its campus-wide use of 100 percent renewable energy. The design of Terminal 2 incorporates sustainability principles throughout.
