PM Modi to embark on Mission South India, hold public rallies in Andhra, TN, Karnataka today
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to embark on Mission Suth India today as he is scheduled to inaugurate a slew of projects and address public meetings in Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka today.
His first rally will be at Guntur in Andhra Pradesh at 11:30 am, then he will address a public gathering in Perumanallur village in Tamil Nadu's Tiruppur at 3:30 pm. In the evening the prime minister will hold a rally in Karnataka's Raichur at 06:30.
It will be PM Modi's first rally in Andhra Pradesh since the ruling TDP pulled out of NDA. The prime minister is likely to come down heavily on the Chandrababu govt, which has been one of its most vociferous opposition in the recent past.
In Tamil Nadu, Modi would lay foundation stone of 100-bed Employees' State Insurance Corporation (ESIC) health facility at Tiruppur, a new integrated building at Trichy Airport and modernisation of Chennai airport. Modi would also dedicate to the nation, the 470-bed ESIC Hospital and the Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd's Ennore Coastal Terminal. He would also inaugurate crude oil pipeline from Chennai Port to Chennai Petroleum Corporation Limited's (CPCL) Manali Refinery here. In addition, passenger service on the 10-km section of the Chennai Metro Rail -- AG-DMS Metro station to Washermenpet Metro station -- will also be inaugurated by Modi.
In Karnataka, Modi will first lay the foundation stone of the IIT-Dharwad and dedicate the city distribution project in Dharwad and 1.5-tonne Mangaluru strategic petroleum facility (SPR) and the 2.5-tonne Padur SPR facility of the state-run Indian Strategic Petroleum Reserves Ltd (ISPRL).
