Amit Shah likely to visit Odisha on November 28

Law Minister Prithiviraj Harichandan said the Union Home Minister is expected to attend official and organisational programmes during the trip.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah is expected to visit Odisha on November 28, according to reports by Odisha Bytes and Pragativadi. Law Minister Prithiviraj Harichandan informed on Monday that the visit is likely to include several official and organisational programmes.

The Minister noted that the specific timetable and full plan for the visit have not been formally completed or made public yet. The trip is expected to involve high-level government functions alongside state leaders and bureaucracy, as well as strategic meetings with local Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders.

The visit follows a planned three-day trip starting July 3 that was postponed due to national security priorities and commitments in New Delhi. That previous schedule included the inauguration of a Rs 1,775-crore bio-ethanol plant by Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd (BPCL) at Baulsingha village.

The upcoming tour is viewed as a way to energise the party structure ahead of upcoming rural elections across the state. An official confirmation and complete timetable are expected from the Ministry of Home Affairs shortly.
