Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be in Bengaluru on Friday to unveil the 108-feet bronze statue of the city’s founder Nadaprabhu Kempegowda and inaugurate Terminal 2 of the International Airport here, built at a cost of around Rs 5,000 crore.
Modi, who will attend a public function and address a mass gathering later in the day, will also flag off south India’s first ‘Vande Bharat Express’ between Mysuru and Chennai via Bengaluru.
After arriving in the city in the morning, Modi will pay floral tributes to the statues of saint poet Kanaka Dasa (on account of Kanaka Jayanti, his birth anniversary) and Maharshi Valmiki at the Vidhana Soudha premises here.
