PUTTAPARTHI: Prime Minister A B Vajpayee will visit Sathya Sai

Baba at his ashram in Puttaparthi in Andhra Pradesh on Wednesday,

officials said.

 

The Prime Minister is arriving at this spiritual town of Sri

Sathya Sai Baba on a two-day visit, amidst unprecedented security in

view of stepped up violence by outlawed People's War Group in the

district.

 

Vajpayee is slated to arrive at around 3 pm after visiting

Israeli Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom

calls on him at his official residence and have darshan of Sai Baba

at Prashanti Nilayam, his abode.

 

The Prime Minister would have overnight halt here and return to

New Delhi on Thursday. Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu

Naidu is also coming.

 

"The prime minister has no other engagements in Puttaparthi," an

official said. Vajpayee is visiting the highly revered guru ahead of

the national elections expected in April-May.

 

The Prime Minister's convoy route from airport to Prashanti

Nilayam, and its premises, have been "sterilised" by bomb disposal

squads drawn from Kurnool and Chittor districts. Round-the-clock

patrolling has been on.

 

Police have made elaborate security arrangements. Every vehicle

coming to the town is being checked and hotels and lodges as well as

buildings in the Nilayam have also been scanned.

 

The Special Protection Group, National Security Guard, Armed

Reserve Police, Andhra Pradesh Special Police and a large number of

police personnel are part of the security cover.
