Ahead of inaugural by PM, credit war rages for Bengaluru-Mysuru expressway

Ahead of the Bengaluru-Mysuru expressway’s inauguration by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the JD (S) has started a campaign claiming that it was a dream project of former Prime Minister H D Deve Gowda.

Modi will inaugurate the expressway on Sunday and will also hold a roadshow and mega public rally in Mandya district.

The district is considered as Vokkaliga heartland and the JD(S) derives its strength from the region.

The ruling BJP in the state is making all-out efforts to drive the vote bank of the region.
