Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik on Saturday left for New Delhi on a four-day visit to discuss the State's financial condition with Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley.
"On this trip to Delhi, I will be meeting Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on matters relating to Odisha's finances," Patnaik told reporters before leaving for Delhi.
Despite the Centre's claim that the State's share of revenue would go up on the basis of the recommendations of the 14th Finance Commission, an analysis done by the State
Government recently has concluded that Odisha would actually lose more than Rs 4,600 crore during 2015-20.
Official sources said the Chief Minister is scheduled to return on August 4.
During his meeting with the Union Finance Minister, the Chief Minister would apprise Jaitley about the discontinuation of several Centre-sponsored schemes in the State and seek redress, sources said.
