It has been announced by the state party president, Manmohan Samal, that Union Home Minister Amit Shah is planning to visit Odisha for two days in the last week of this month. The main purpose of his visit is to attend various BJP programmes. As of now, the detailed schedule for Shah's visit is yet to be finalized, but he is expected to be in Odisha on December 29 and 30.
During his visit, Shah is scheduled to attend the BJP MLAs training in Bhubaneswar and also review the progress of the ongoing organizational elections in the state. The BJP had recently come into power in Odisha earlier this year. One of the topics that Shah is likely to discuss is the election of a new state BJP president. Currently, Manmohan Samal holds the position as an interim arrangement since last year, but the party is set to elect a new president in January.
According to senior party leader and MLA Jaynarayan Mishra, Shah will also be visiting Sambalpur and attending some functions, including a visit to the Maa Samaleswari Temple. He will also be reviewing the preparations for the upcoming three-day Pravasi Bharatiya Divas programme, which is set to be hosted by Odisha from January 8. The event will be inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on January 9, with President Droupadi Murmu attending the valedictory session the next day.
Shah's visit has also sparked speculations about a possible expansion of the BJP ministry in the state. With the Mohan Charan Majhi government completing six months in power, there are talks about including more ministers in the ministry. Currently, there are 16 ministers in the Majhi government with six vacant berths. The visit of Union Home Minister Amit Shah has definitely created a buzz in the political circles of Odisha, and everyone is eagerly waiting to see what unfolds during his visit.
