Narendra Modi Mysuru visit: The city of palaces is all spruced up for Prime Minister Narendra Modi's two-day maiden visit from Saturday evening. "Modi is visiting Mysuru for first time after becoming prime minister to inaugurate the 103rd Indian Science Congress in the University of Mysore campus on Sunday though he has two functions on Saturday evening," a state official said. Though Modi last visited the city in April 2014 as the BJP's prime ministerial candidate during the general elections, he had come here four-five times in the past as Gujarat chief minister and BJP leader. Modi also visited Suttur Math on the city's outskirts during the tenure of the BJP government (2008-13) when party's vice-president B.S. Yeddurappa was the state's chief minister (2008-2011) to address a party meeting. Mysuru, Karnataka's cultural capital, is about 140 km from Bengaluru.
