It is pertinent to mention here that Odisha CM had appealed to people on Saturday to not visit his residence, Naveen Niwas, to wish him.
It is for the fourth consecutive year that the CM’s birthday will see no fanfare and instead he will be flying to Hyderabad to attend the last left of the curtain raiser to the ‘Make in Odisha’ conclave, the state’s flagship industry investors meet slated to be held later this year.
