Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik will visit three districts of West Odisha today on the birth anniversary of legendary statesman and former Chief Minister of Odisha, Biju Patnaik. The CM will inaugurate and lay the foundation stones of multiple projects in the marathon program and termed it a political gimmick and calculated move to whitewash his image after health minister Naba Das’ murder.
On Biju Babu’s birth anniversary, today, CM Naveen Patnaik is scheduled for a marathon tour to three districts in western Odisha. He will also open the much-awaited Biju Expressway for the public.
CM Naveen will visit Bargarh, Nuapada and Kalahandi on his visit to the West Odisha today. He is also scheduled to join a 18 km long road show during his visit today.
The CM is also scheduled to attend at least eight programs including five in Bhubaneswar. He will offer floral tributes to his father and the legendary Biju Patnaik at the Biju Patnaik Park and also join the inauguration ceremony of the iconic Dakota, the plane of Biju Babu.
Later, he is scheduled to tour Nuapada, Kalahandi and Bargarh districts. He is expected to visit Bargarh’s Sohela, Kalahandi’s Junagarh and Ambapani, and Nuapada districts today, reports said.
Meanwhile, the BJP will observe the day (Panchayati Raj Diwas) as ‘Bhrastachar Diwas’ (Corruption Day) alleging widespread corruption in the State. Reportedly, the party workers will observe it in 314 blocks across Odisha by wearing black badges on their arms.
