Rahul and Nadda will speak at campaign events in Odisha on Sunday.

Bhubaneswar is gearing up for some high-profile visitors as Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and BJP president JP Nadda are scheduled to hold election rallies on April 28 in different parts of Odisha. AICC general secretary and the party's Odisha in-charge Ajoy Kumar announced on Friday that Gandhi will be addressing a public meeting at Salepur in Cuttack district. He will also be paying tribute to Utkal Gourav Madhusudan Das at Satyabhamapur.

The rally is expected to be attended by people from four Lok Sabha constituencies - Cuttack, Kendrapara, Jajpur, and Jagatsinghpur. Meanwhile, Nadda will be addressing a public gathering in Berhampur and meeting with party workers at Nabarangpur, as confirmed by senior BJP leader Samir Mohanty. The Berhampur Lok Sabha seat is anticipated to witness a fierce competition between turncoats from BJP and BJD.

The BJP has nominated Gopalpur MLA Pradeep Panigrahi, who was previously associated with BJD, while the ruling party in the state has chosen former BJP leader Bhrugu Baxipatra as their candidate. In Nabarangpur, BJD has put forth Pradeep Majhi, who had emerged victorious in the 2009 elections as a Congress candidate. On the other hand, BJP had fielded Balabhadra Majhi, who defeated Pradeep Majhi in the 2014 elections. Interestingly, Congress has now entered the race by nominating Bhujabal Majhi, who could potentially surprise the BJD and BJP candidates in Nabarangpur.

All in all, it seems like an exciting and eventful day for the people of Odisha as they get to hear from two prominent political leaders and witness the intense competition between the different parties vying for power. Let's see how the rallies and meetings unfold and what impact they have on the upcoming elections.
