Bengaluru: BJP to organise mega roadshow tomorrow to receive PM Modi post Chandrayaan-3 success
Narendra Modi is coming on August 26. We will be receiving him in big numbers with more than 6,000 people at HAL airport. There, he might address the people of Bengaluru.
India's Prime Minister Modi is set to meet with ISRO scientists involved in the Chandrayaan-3 Mission after the successful lunar landing. The Vikram lander touched down on the uncharted lunar South Pole, making India the first country to achieve this feat after a 40-day journey.

Following the landing, in his address, PM Modi said "When we see such historic moments it makes us very proud.
