Mohan Majhi embarks on 2-day Delhi visit

Bhubaneswar: Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Majhi left for New Delhi today at around 8.00 am from the Biju Patnaik International Airport, Bhubaneswar. State BJP President Manmohan Samal had on Sunday left for Delhi making it their second visit in the last one week.

It is to be noted that, the Vice Presidential elections are scheduled to be held on September 9. Odisha CM and state BJP President will meet all the MPs from Odisha and have a brief discussion with them regarding the upcoming elections.

CM Majhi will meet the Odisha MPs at the residence of Balasore MP Pratap Sarangi. He will also have a one-to-one talk discussion with them in his two-day visit.

Amid the speculations of Cabinet expansion, this visit will prove to be very crucial. The Centre may approve the Cabinet expansion and the constitution of the new BJP team.

The BJP will complete 15 months of government in Odisha on September 12. The Cabinet can constitute upto 22 ministers including the CM, but the current government has only 16 Ministers. Some Ministers are holding multiple departments thus adding to their burden, thus Cabinet expansion is the need of the hour.

Similarly, the Chairmen of the Nigams and Samitis are also to be appointed. All the suspense and speculations surrounding the political scenario will come to an end with the return of CM and the state BJP President Manmohan Samal.
