Bhubaneswar: As part of his efforts to unite the opposition against the BJP ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha polls, Bihar Chief Minister and Janata Dal (United) chief Nitish Kumar is likely to visit Odisha and meet his Odisha counterpart Naveen Patnaik.
According to national media reports, the Bihar CM is likely to visit Odisha on May 5 and hold discussion with Patnaik at Naveen Niwas in Bhubaneswar.
Worth mentioning, the BJD has been maintaining equal distance from the BJP and the Congress. However, the regional party has supported the BJP government in passing several Bills in the Parliament.
Accompanied by Bihar Deputy CM and RJD leader Tejashwi Prasad Yadav, the JD (U) chief held meetings with the West Bengal CM and Trinamool Congress (TMC) head Mamata Banerjee in Kolkata and Samajwadi Party (SP) president Akhilesh Yadav in Lucknow.
Previously, Nitish had met CM Naveen in 2017.
