PM Modi will be in Odisha on January 15!
BHUBANESWAR: Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s proposed visit to Odisha’s Balangir has been preponed by a day to January 15, a senior BJP leader said on Sunday.
PM Modi, who was scheduled to visit Balangir on January 16, will now be there on January 15, leader of BJP Legislature Party KV Singhdeo told reporters.
During his visit to Balangir, PM Modi will address “Swabhiman Samavesh” of the BJP. He will also attend an official programme there, Mr. Singhdeo said.
This will be basically PM Modi’s third visit to Odisha in three weeks.
PM Modi had already visited Odisha on December 24 for inaugurating a new campus of IIT Aragul, besides launching a range of other projects worth over Rs. 14,500 crores in Bhubaneswar.
PM Modi visited Baripada in the tribal-dominated Mayurbhanj district, where he unveiled a basket of projects worth over Rs. 4,500 crores, on Saturday.
Just three days after PM Modi’s scheduled visit to Balangir, BJP president Amit Shah will visit Odisha on January 18 to meet booth-level workers in Cuttack, a BJP leader said.
