Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit Karnataka on November 13 and have an action-packed schedule in Bengaluru and Mysuru. Prime Minister Modi will be holding five programmes in two districts during his one-day visit — the much-awaited inauguration of the Bengaluru Metro Pink Line among them.
The visit is important for Karnataka, especially Bengaluru commuters, as the Pink Line inauguration will be an important milestone in the expansion of the city’s public transportation system. Besides the metro inauguration, Modi will also attend programmes at Prashanti Kutiram and IIMB before travelling to Mysuru for two more engagements.
As per the proposed itinerary, PM would start his Karnataka visit from Bengaluru in the morning and conclude his engagements in Mysuru before returning to New Delhi in the evening.
PM Modi's Bengaluru Visit on November 13
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be present at a programme at Prashanti Kutiram in Jigani, Bengaluru between 10:45 am and 12 noon.
After this engagement he will proceed to Tavarekere Metro Station, where he will inaugurate the Bengaluru Metro Pink Line between 12:45 pm and 1:05 pm.
The inauguration is expected to be one of the highlights of his Karnataka visit. Pink Line is an important addition to Bengaluru’s expanding metro network and should improve connectivity in several parts of the city.
The new metro corridor will give commuters another option in public transport — connectivity will improve and dependence on private vehicles will reduce. Inauguration will also be watched by daily passengers waiting for improved metro connectivity in Bengaluru.
Modi to Attend IIM Bangalore Programme
Prime Minister Modi will inaugurate the Pink Line, after which he is to attend a programme at the Indian Institute of Management Bangalore (IIMB).
The programme will take place between 1.15 pm and 2.15 pm.
The visit to IIM Bangalore will be another important engagement during his Bengaluru schedule. IIMB is one of India’s premier management institutes and is known for its contributions to management education, research, entrepreneurship and leadership development.
The PM has three engagements in Bengaluru, so the morning and afternoon are likely to be jam-packed.
PM Modi to Reach Mysuru at 3:20 pm
Prime Minister Modi will leave Bengaluru after his programmes in Bengaluru and head to Mysuru. He is expected to reach Mysuru around 3:20 pm today.
The Prime Minister will hold two programmes in Mysuru, including a public meeting.
The public meeting is expected to be an important part of his visit as he gets an opportunity to address people in the region. Details of the two Mysuru programmes are expected to come under the limelight as preparations for the Prime Minister’s visit gather pace.
Mysuru is a political, cultural and tourism centre in Karnataka. The Prime Minister’s visit to the city will therefore attract public as well as political attention.
PM Modi to Return to Delhi at 6:10 pm
After his engagements in Mysuru are over, PM Narendra Modi will leave for New Delhi at about 6:10 pm.
So the Prime Minister will cover two districts (Bengaluru and Mysuru) in a single day and attend five programmes.
The trip will be a mix of infrastructure development, institutional engagement and public interaction. The inauguration of the Bengaluru Metro Pink Line will continue to be the centrepiece — for residents who rely on public transport — in particular.

Bengaluru Metro Pink Line Inauguration: A Major Highlight
Of the five programmes planned during the Prime Minister’s Karnataka visit, inauguration of Pink Line is likely to be most important for Bengaluru residents.
The metro expansion will strengthen the city’s public transport system and connect commuters better. Bengaluru continues to face traffic congestion and travel demand continues to rise so expanding the metro network is a top priority for the city.
The November 13 inauguration will therefore be watched by commuters, infrastructure watchers and residents who are waiting for improvements in Bengaluru’s transportation system.
All in all, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s November 13 visit will be a big one-day tour of Karnataka with two major districts and five engagements (Bengaluru Metro Pink Line inauguration; public meeting in Mysuru). Infrastructure and politics will dominate the visit.
