Former Chief Minister S.M. Krishna inaugurated the birthday celebrations of Prime Minister Narendra Modi at K.R. Constituency in Mysuru on Saturday.
It was organised as ‘Modi Yuga Utsav’ by local MLA S.A. Ramdas and entailed distribution of benefits under various government programmes to those eligible.
The event will be held for nine days and Mr. Krishna planted a sapling and lit a lamp to mark the inauguration. The beneficiaries of various schemes received their entitlements under different schemes. Mr. Ramdas said the event was also a platform to highlight various schemes launched by the government – both the Centre and the State – for the benefit of the public and the economically deprived section.
