CM Mamta to visit Odisha this month

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee will be on a two-day visit to Odisha this month when she is likely to call on her counterpart and Biju Janata Dal (BJD) President Naveen Patnaik.

As per the information given by Trinamool Congress, that the chief minister will reach Odisha- capital of Bhubaneswar on March 21 evening and make a night-stay there.

On March 22, Mamata Banerjee will go to Puri and offer prayers at Shree Jagannath Temple there. On March 23, before taking the return flight to Kolkata from Bhubaneswar, Trinamool sources said, there is a possibility of her meeting with Naveen Patnaik.

On a part of political analysis it was being observed that if the meeting happens then there will be interesting twist and turns in the field of opposition politics in the country.

The possibilities of the meeting between Mamata Banerjee and Naveen Patnaik has sparked speculation of the West Bengal chief minister’s initiative to forge an alliance of regional parties for the 2024 Lok Sabha polls without keeping Congress in the fray.
