Prime Minister Narendra Modi is all set to inaugurate the Yellow Line of the Bengaluru Metro on Sunday, Karnataka BJP president B.Y. Vijayendra announced at a press conference on Thursday. The new metro line is expected to significantly ease urban commute, benefitting nearly eight lakh residents of Bengaluru.
PM Modi will begin his Bengaluru visit on Sunday morning by arriving at the Sangolli Rayanna Railway Station, where he will flag off the new Vande Bharat Express service between Bengaluru and Belagavi.
Following that, the Prime Minister will proceed along the Yellow Line corridor, with stops at South End Circle and Ragigudda, and later attend an official event at the Electronic City Metro Station, Vijayendra said.
Vijayendra emphasised the enthusiasm surrounding the visit and said, “The people of Bengaluru are eagerly awaiting the Prime Minister’s visit. BJP workers are also ready to welcome him with great enthusiasm.”
Thousands of BJP workers are expected to gather at various locations along the Yellow Line to greet the Prime Minister, including Mekhri Circle, Chalukya Circle, Sangolli Rayanna Circle, South End Circle, Ragigudda, and Electronic City Metro Station.
