VP Radhakrishnan arrives in Karnataka for 3-day multi-state tour; Governor accords warm welcome
Bengaluru, May 29
Vice President CP Radhakrishnan arrived in Bengaluru on Friday and was accorded a warm reception by Karnataka Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot, State Transport Minister Ramalinga Reddy and other senior dignitaries.
This marks the beginning of his three-day tour across Karnataka, Goa and Keralam. This visit marks the commencement of his busy itinerary from May 29 to 31.
The Vice President's schedule in Karnataka includes two major events of national and regional importance.
The post from the Vice President's official 'X' handle stated that, "The Vice President will grace the grand celebrations marking 45 years of the Art of Living at the AOL Campus, Bengaluru and Platinum Jubilee Celebrations of University BDT College of Engineering at Davangere, today."
He will participate in the Statehood Day celebrations of Goa at Panaji tomorrow, and will visit CSIR-National Institute of Oceanography in Goa later in the day, according to the Vice President's Secretariat.
On May 31, the Vice-President will visit the Sri Kshetra Dharmasthala Manjunatha Swamy Temple. He will thereafter inaugurate the SIRI Industrial Park at Belthangady, Karnataka.
Later in the day, the Vice-President will visit Keralam to inaugurate the 140th Foundation Anniversary celebrations of Deepika Malayalam Daily at Kottayam. He will also visit Kannur to participate in a private function organised by C. Sadanandan Master, Member of Parliament (Rajya Sabha).
Earlier on May 25, Rajya Sabha MP Swati Maliwal met Vice President Radhakrishnan in the national capital and shared that the meeting was a source of inspiration for her.
In a post on X, Maliwal said she had the opportunity to meet the Vice President and sought his guidance.
"Met with the Hon'ble Vice President of India, Shri CP Radhakrishnan Ji. His guidance and experience serve as a constant source of inspiration for all of us working in public life. Heartfelt gratitude for his valuable time and blessings", she said.

Honestly, while it's good that the VP is visiting different states, I wish the itinerary included more interactions with common people or local panchayats rather than just inaugurating events. But the temple visit at Dharmasthala and the industrial park inauguration are positive steps for Karnataka's rural development.
Impressive multi-state tour covering Karnataka, Goa, and Kerala in just three days. The visit to CSIR-National Institute of Oceanography in Goa seems particularly important for marine research. Also noting the 140th anniversary of Deepika Malayalam Daily - that's serious journalistic history right there!
The VP's schedule is packed but meaningful - from the Art of Living's spiritual impact to a college engineering milestone, statehood day celebrations, oceanography research, temple visit, and a Malayalam newspaper's foundation day. Shows our diversity in one itinerary. Kudos to the organizers for balancing everything so well! 😊
A small suggestion - while the VP honors institutions, I hope he also addresses pressing issues like farmer distress or unemployment in Karnataka during interactions. The state has been facing drought in many parts. But the tour itself is well-planned across three states in just three days, no small feat! 🙏
It's heartwarming to see Swati Maliwal meeting the VP and seeking guidance. Public life needs more such bipartisan mentorship moments. The VP's diverse engagements - from spiritual (Art of Living, Dharmasthala) to educational (BDT College) to media (Deepika) - reflect the multifaceted nature of Indian society. 🌟
