Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate the Shivamogga airport with a lotus-shaped terminal and lay the foundation for various development projects in Belagavi.
The inauguration of the Shivamogga airport coincides with the BJP strongman and former chief minister BS Yediyurappa’s 80th birthday in his hometown.
The two cities of Karnataka have decked up to receive the Prime Minister with festoons, party flags, banners and posters.
A thick security blanket has been thrown in Belagavi where the Prime Minister is scheduled to hold a roadshow.
