PM Modi to open multiple projects in poll-bound Karnataka today
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will launch multiple projects in poll-bound Karnataka tomorrow, including the Bengaluru-Mysuru expressway, Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) at Dharwad and world’s longest railway platform at the Hubbali station.
This will be Modi’s third visit to the state in a month. Karnataka will go to polls in April.
As part of the Bengaluru-Mysuru expressway project, the Bengaluru-Nidaghatta-Mysuru section of the NH-275 has been six-laned. The 118-km-long expressway has been developed at a cost of around Rs 8,480 crore. It will reduce the travel time between Bengaluru and Mysuru from around three hours to 75 minutes.
