Next week, we can expect to see Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge and senior leader Rahul Gandhi making a visit to Odisha for campaigning in the upcoming Lok Sabha and assembly elections. A senior party leader confirmed this on Sunday, speaking to reporters in Bhubaneswar. The duo is expected to arrive in the state between May 26 and 28, although the exact details are yet to be finalized and will be announced within the next two days.
In addition, the party has also extended an invitation to Priyanka Gandhi, hoping she would join them in Odisha on May 25 for campaigning. However, due to her pre-scheduled public meeting in Uttar Pradesh on the same day, she may not be able to make it. But the Congress has now requested her to visit Odisha on May 26 instead. It is worth mentioning that Rahul Gandhi has already held two election rallies in Cuttack and Balangir on April 28 and May 15 respectively, while Kharge had a meeting in Kandhamal district and a press conference in Bhubaneswar on May 16.
In response to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Odisha for campaigning, the Congress leader expressed his views, saying that Modi is coming to spread lies. He reminded that during his previous election campaign, Modi had promised to provide 2 crore jobs each year. However, the reality is far from it, as crores of people have lost their jobs and unemployment has reached its peak in India. The Congress believes that Modi's campaign in Odisha will have a negative impact on the election results for BJP candidates in the state.
As the election date draws closer, the parties are leaving no stone unturned in their campaigning efforts. With the Congress leaders set to make their presence felt in Odisha next week, it remains to be seen how their efforts will affect the outcome of the elections.
