CM Majhi Confirms Positive Response from PMO
Speaking to reporters in Bhubaneswar, Majhi stated, 'The Prime Minister's Office has given a positive response to the visit, though the date is yet to be finalised.' He expressed confidence that the visit would take place in June, marking a significant milestone for the BJP government which completed one year in office earlier this year.
Anniversary Celebrations Planned
The state government is planning a series of events to commemorate the anniversary, with the PM's presence being the highlight. Majhi indicated that the government would showcase its achievements over the past year, focusing on development initiatives and welfare schemes implemented under the BJP administration.
The BJP came to power in Odisha in 2025, ending the long-standing rule of the Biju Janata Dal. The anniversary celebrations are expected to be a major political event, with party workers and supporters from across the state gathering to mark the occasion.
Majhi also mentioned that the state government is coordinating with the PMO to finalize the itinerary and ensure a smooth visit. Security arrangements and logistical details are being worked out, he added.
The visit is seen as a boost for the BJP in Odisha, as the party aims to strengthen its presence in the state ahead of future elections. Political analysts believe that Modi's visit will energize party cadres and send a message of unity and progress.
Details regarding the exact date and schedule of the visit are expected to be announced soon after formal confirmation from the PMO.
