Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], May 7 (ANI): With just four days left for Assembly polls in Karnataka, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday held a mega roadshow in the city, waving at a large, enthusiastic crowd lining up both sides of the route on the road.

"If only words could describe what I just saw in Bengaluru! I bow to the people of this vibrant city for showering me with affection that I will cherish for my entire life," the PM tweeted after the roadshow.PM Modi will also address four public meetings in different parts of the state later today.

As there is a NEET exam scheduled, PM Modi will wrap up the roadshow by 11.30 am making a shorter stretch of the roadshow. Karnataka will go to polls on May 10 and the votes will be counted on May 13.
