Prime Minister Narendra Modi would visit Odisha two times in February, informed BJP national secretary and State-in-charge of the party Arun Singh on Sunday.
Modi would first come on a two-day visit from February 7, during which he would seek blessings of lord Jagannath in Puri and inaugurate the IOCl Paradip Refinery Project.
Again, he would come to the State on February 21 to attend a massive farmers’ rally to be orgainised by the BJP at Bargarh, said Singh.
He said Modi would personally talk to farmers about their problems, besides addressing the proposed Samavesh.
“During the last 19 months of its rule, the Modi Government has undertaken a host of schemes, including soil health card, Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sechan Yojana and Farmers’ Insurance Scheme, for wellbeing of farmers. Measures have also been taken for re-operation of the defunct urea plant at Talcher.
To make people aware of these programmes, the BJP has planned to hold Kissan Mahasammilanis in four States, including Odisha,” Singh said
The three other States where the Mahasammilani would be held are Karnataka, Uttar Pradesh and MP.
