Bhubaneswar: Union Home Minister Amit Shah is likely to visit Odisha on November 28, Law Minister Prithiviraj Harichandan informed on Monday.
“He is expected to participate in several official and organisational programmes,” the Minister said, confirming the tentative tour schedule.
Although the detailed itinerary and final schedule are yet to be formally finalised and released, Shah’s visit is expected to feature key interactions with state leaders, discussions regarding party activities, and participation in state administration programmes.
Political analysts view the proposed tour as a significant development, noting that his presence is likely to galvanise the local party framework ahead of upcoming rural elections across the state.
The anticipated trip comes months after a planned three-day visit by Shah, beginning July 3, was postponed due to pressing national security priorities and commitments in New Delhi, which had fuelled speculation about a possible cabinet reshuffle. He was then scheduled to inaugurate Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd’s (BPCL) Rs 1,775-crore bio-ethanol plant at Baulsingha village and lay the foundation stones for other developmental projects in Baragada before travelling to Sambalpur on July 4 for public meetings, and interaction with BJP workers and local leaders.
