Bhubaneswar: Prime Minister Narendra Modi started his roadshow for simultaneous elections in Odisha from the BJP office in Bhubaneswar at around 9 pm on Friday.

The Prime Minister was received by state president of BJP Manmohan Samal and other senior leaders of the party after he landed at the Biju Patnaik International Airport in Bhubaneswar from Hyderabad. From the airport, Modi directly went to the party’s state headquarters near Ram Mandir.

The roadshow started with around 200 members of Mahila Morcha, the women wing of the party, leading the decorated vehicle of the Prime Minister. Bhubaneswar MP Aparajita Sarangi accompanied Modi in the vehicle. This is the second roadshow of Modi in the state in five years.

Thousands of BJP workers, supporters and people of the city lined up on both sides of the Janpath from Master Canteen to Vani Vihar to welcome Modi. Holding the flags of BJP, they raised slogans in favour of the BJP and Modi during the roadshow.

The stretch of Janpath wore a festive look as artists performed different programmes depicting the tradition of culture of Odisha on 12 stages constructed for the roadshow. The entire area turned saffron colour with roadside trees, light posts and other structures decorated with the BJP flags and even the lights of saffron.

The Prime Minister is on a two-day Odisha visit. After the roadshow in the capital city, he will make a night halt at the Raj Bhavan.

Around 55 platoons of police force have been deployed on the entire stretch of the roadshow for security point of view.
