Bhubaneswar: Hours before the swearing-in ceremony, Odisha Governor-designate Raghubar Das visited Lord Lingaraj Temple in Bhubaneswar on Tuesday to offer prayers to the presiding deity.
Several BJP leaders extended warm welcome to Das at the shrine.
His official swearing-in as the 26th Governor of Odisha will take place at 11.45 am. Several supporters from Jharkhand, as well as Das’ family members, are expected to attend the ceremony.
The former chief Minister of Jharkhand arrived in Odisha on Monday and visited Puri for darshan of the sibling deities of Jagannath Temple. He was accompanied by his family and 80 close relatives. He was later welcomed at the Raj Bhawan here by Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik.
Das was appointed as the new Governor of Odisha by President Dropadi Murmu on October 18. Prior to this appointment, he was a national vice president of the BJP. He was also first non-tribal CM of Jharkhand from 2014 to 2019.
