Bhubaneswar: Raghubar Das is scheduled to arrive in Odisha on Monday after being appointed as the Governor, sources said on Sunday.

As per information, Das is slated to reach Puri by train in the morning. Soon after arrival in the seaside pilgrim town, he will offer prayers at the Shree Jagannath Temple and seek the blessings of the Lords.

The swearing-in ceremony is scheduled to take place at the Raj Bhavan in the state capital at 11.45 am. Before being sworn-in as the 26th Governor, he will offer prayers at the Lingaraj Temple in Bhubaneswar.

It may be noted here that Das was on October 18 appointed by President Droupadi Murmu as the Governor of Odisha, replacing Ganeshi Lal.

Das has served as the Chief Minister of Jharkhand from 2014 to 2019. He became the first non-tribal Chief Minister of the neighbouring state.

Das, who completed a degree in law after passing out from Jamshedpur Cooperative College, started his political career as an activist of the student movement launched by Loknayak Jaiprakash Narayan in 1976-77. He was also jailed during emergency. He enrolled himself with the Janata Party in 1977 and joined the BJP after its launch three years later. In 2004, Das was appointed as Jharkhand state president of the BJP.

Earlier speaking to media, Das had said that he would discharge his constitutional duties in coordination with the state government and was committed to taking Odisha to new heights.
