Union Home Minister Amit Shah is scheduled to come to the State on a two-day visit from February 28.
The purpose of his maiden visit to the State after becoming the Home Minister at the Centre is to attend a massive pro-Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) rally to be in the State capital on February 28.
Informing about Shah’s visit, BJP State president Samir Mohanty on Sunday said that on February 28, Shah would spend the night in Bhubaneswar after attending the rally. He would visit the Jagannath Temple in Puri and the Lingaraj Temple in Bhubaneswar to have darshan of the deities next day before flying back to New Delhi.
“Awareness programmes on the CAA have already been held at the district headquarters. Union Ministers Dharmendra Pradhan, Babul Supriyo and Giriraj Singh and MP Rupa Ganguly have addressed rallies. Now, a massive pro-CAA rally has been planned in Bhubaneswar,” informed Mohanty.
