This will be the PM's fifth visit to the state since January. The power duo of Modi and home minister Amit Shah has been making multiple visits as the BJP tries to retain power in the only southern state it holds. The upcoming visit will see the PM open the 118-km six-lane Bengaluru-Mysuru expressway, a ₹8,500 crore NHAI project that will benefit hundreds of thousands of people a day as it cuts travel time between Karnataka, Kerala, and Tamil Nadu.
