Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Bengaluru road show has been rescheduled for the second time, keeping the NEET examination on May 7 in mind. The Karnataka BJP has now scheduled an extensive event on May 6, Saturday, and a shorter one on May 7, Union Minister of State Shobha Karandlaje said on Friday.
The National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) is scheduled on May 7 (Sunday).
Karandlaje said that when the issue of NEET examination was brought to PM Modi’s notice, he asked that not a single student be inconvenienced because of the road show, which is taking place ahead of Assembly polls in the state.
"PM Narendra Modi's road show will be on May 6 and 7, preparations are on for it. We had shared information in that regard to the public through the press. However, you (media) people informed us about the NEET exams on May 7 at 2 pm, and the 26 km roadshow will cause inconvenience for (students writing) exams," Karandlaje said.
