Residents of Odisha have chosen to give a break to Naveen Patnaik, as stated by Nadda during Bhubaneswar roadshow.

Bhubaneswar was bustling with excitement as BJP president JP Nadda led a roadshow to show support for his party's candidates in Odisha. The leader was greeted with enthusiasm and cheers as he rode in an open-hood vehicle, accompanied by Bhubaneswar's BJP MP and candidate Aparajita Sarangi, and Ekamra-Bhubaneswar assembly seat's party nominee Babu Singh. The streets were lined with people, eagerly waving party flags and chanting slogans, while buildings showered petals on the procession.

Addressing reporters during the three-kilometer roadshow, Nadda expressed his belief that the people of Odisha have made a decision to give Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik a break after ruling the state for 24 years, and elect a BJP government instead. This was evident from the overwhelming response and enthusiasm of the crowd during the roadshow, he added. Nadda also took the opportunity to take a dig at the BJD, stating that they have missed the bus in the first phase of simultaneous elections in the state.

When asked about the BJP's possible candidate for Chief Minister in Odisha, Nadda confidently stated that the party has a proven track record of deciding on their CMs within three days of election results, as seen in Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, and Rajasthan. He assured that something similar will happen in Odisha as well.

This roadshow came just a day after Union Home Minister Amit Shah's successful roadshow in Cuttack. Later in the day, Nadda is scheduled to address two public meetings in Bargarh and Sundargarh Lok Sabha seats. He arrived in Odisha on Wednesday, and his visit is a part of the BJP's vigorous campaigning in the state.

Meanwhile, Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge is also in the state, with plans to hold a press conference and address a rally in Kandhamal district. His visit follows a recent rally by senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi in Bolangir. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who has visited Odisha twice for election campaigning, is also scheduled to visit again on May 20. In addition, Union ministers and the chief ministers of BJP-ruled states have also been actively campaigning in Odisha.

These efforts are in preparation for the simultaneous elections taking place in the state, with 147 assembly seats and 21 Lok Sabha constituencies up for grabs. The streets of Bhubaneswar have been filled with the energy and excitement of political campaigning, with party leaders and workers all striving towards the same goal - to secure victory for their respective parties in the upcoming elections.
