    BJP Chief JP Nadda To Begin 2-Day Odisha Visit Tomorrow; Check His Itinerary

    Bhubaneswar: BJP national president JP Nadda will arrive in Odisha on a two-day visit, which is part of Maha Jan Sampark Abhiyan on the completion of nine years of Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led NDA government at the Centre, on Thursday.

    According to party sources, Nadda will land at Veer Surendra Sai airport in Jharsuguda at 4 pm. He will then proceed to BJP district unit office and hold discussions with principal office-bearers, party leaders and workers of Bargarh Lok Sabha constituency. “He will make a night halt at MCL guesthouse in Burla,” BJP State general secretary Golak Mohapatra informed.

    On June 23, the BJP chief will travel to Bhawanipatna and pay his obeisance to the presiding deity at Maa Manikeswari temple in the town. He will then address a rally at Lal Bahadur Shastri Stadium there and present the report card of the PM Narendra Modi government in the last nine years. After the Samabesh, he will meet prominent persons of the district and hold discussions with party’s principal office-bearers of Kalahandi Lok Sabha constituency before flying back to Delhi from Jharsuguda in the afternoon, Mohapatra added.

    The party had earlier informed that his visit to Kalahandi has been deferred by a day due to unavoidable circumstances and he would reach there on June 23 instead of June 22.

    Nadda had last visited the state in December when he addressed a public meeting at Tumudibandha under Baliguda Assembly constituency of Kandhamal district and another at Banpur under Chilika Assembly constituency.

    Notably, the Odisha unit of the BJP has planned public rallies by the party’s top leaders such as Nadda, PM Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, to keep the party ready in case the assembly elections, scheduled to be held in May 2024, are advanced. The party workers will also reach out to around one crore households in the state as a part of the ‘Maha Jansampark Abhiyan’.

    Sambalpur violence probe: BJP chief JP Nadda constitutes 4-member panel

    Bhubaneswar: The BJP has formed a four-member inquiry committee to probe the violence during Hanuman Jayanti procession in Odisha’s Sambalpur district.

    “BJP President JP Nadda has expressed grief over the incident and constituted a four-member inquiry committee to probe the violence,” BJP National General Secretary Arun Singh said in the official order released on Friday.

    The committee comprises Rajya Sabha members Brij Lal, Samir Oraon, Aditya Sahu and Lok Sabha MP Jyotirmay Singh Mahato. The members will visit Sambalpur and prepare a report based on facts that will be submitted to the BJP President for necessary action, it added.

    On April 22, the Odisha unit of BJP had written to Union Home Minister Amit Shah, requesting him to take steps for an inquiry by NIA into the violence in Sambalpur during Hanuman Jayanti celebrations. “We strongly condemn the heinous act of communal violence and demand an impartial investigation by the NIA to unravel the conspiracy behind the incident, and strict action against the perpetrators,” letter signed by BJP’s state unit president Manmohan Samal and several party MPs and MLAs said.

    BJP leaders also alleged that the law and order situation in Sambalpur had “deteriorated” following clashes “due to the orchestrated violent attack” on a motorcycle rally two days before the Hanuman Jayanti on April 14, which left several persons, including some policemen, grievously injured.

    The violence and arson “exposed the poor intelligence network of the Odisha Police and the lack of foresight on its part to ascertain the consequences of “inadequate security arrangement during the festival”, the letter further said.

    It pointed out that some attackers had raised certain objectionable and anti-national slogans to incite communal violence. “Such sloganeering by the mob is not acceptable and amounts to crime that needs to be dealt with strict laws,” the BJP leaders said.

    The saffron party also claimed that a tribal youth was killed and several others were injured in another attack by a mob in Sambalpur on April 14.

    Meanwhile, the Sambalpur administration has relaxed the curfew and internet restrictions imposed in the western Odisha town in the aftermath of the violence following overall improvement in the situation.
