Bangalore: In a bid to give an electoral push to its candidates in Bangalore, the BJP is bringing Narendra Modi to address election rallies in Bommanahalli on Tuesday.
This would be Modi’s second visit to Bangalore after he was declared the prime ministerial candidate. The rally christened ‘Bharata Gellisi’ would be held at the grounds opposite PES College on Hosur Road, Bommanahalli at 7 pm.
Speaking to reporters at the venue on Monday, former deputy chief minister R Ashoka said apart from supporting his party candidates, Modi’s speech will focus mainly on Bangalore and his plans for the City.
