The BJP has opposed the construction of a second airport in Bengaluru, within the Chief Minister's constituency. Instead, the party is advocating for an airport in Tumakuru.
The BJP's opposition to the second airport in Bengaluru is significant, given the city's growing air traffic. The party's stance is seen as a move to promote development in other parts of the state. Tumakuru, located about 70 kilometers from Bengaluru, has been proposed as an alternative site for the airport. The BJP's advocacy for an airport in Tumakuru is likely to spark a debate on the best location for the state's next major aviation hub.
