Union Home Minister Amit Shah likely to visit Odisha on November 28
Law Minister Prithiviraj Harichandan said the visit will include official programmes and organisational meetings.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah is expected to visit Odisha on November 28, according to reports from Pragativadi and Odisha Bytes. State Law Minister Prithiviraj Harichandan shared the development on Monday, stating that Shah is expected to take part in several official and organisational programmes.
The tentative itinerary is expected to include participation in high-level government functions alongside state leaders and the bureaucracy. Shah is also expected to hold strategic closed-door reviews with local Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders to evaluate organisational strength and interact with local functionaries.
This proposed tour follows a planned three-day visit originally scheduled for July 3, which was postponed due to national security priorities and commitments in New Delhi. That previous trip was intended to include the inauguration of a Rs 1,775-crore bio-ethanol plant by Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd (BPCL) at Baulsingha village.
While the detailed schedule and official confirmation from the Ministry of Home Affairs are still pending, the visit is viewed as a significant development for the BJP's regional presence. An official timetable is expected to be released by the Home Ministry shortly.
