Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi’s sudden two-day visit to New Delhi has set political circles abuzz, triggering both anticipation and uncertainty within the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). The trip comes just weeks after his last capital visit, intensifying curiosity about its true purpose.
Meeting with Prime Minister Modi
A key highlight of Majhi’s itinerary is his scheduled meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Sources suggest the Chief Minister may extend a formal invitation to the Prime Minister to visit Odisha for his birthday celebrations. However, the rest of Majhi’s agenda remains under wraps, leaving even senior BJP leaders speculating about the nature of the visit.
Accompanied by State BJP President
State BJP president Manmohan Samal is accompanying Majhi on this tour, adding another layer of intrigue. Party insiders are discussing three major issues likely to be on the table in Delhi: appointments to key public sector corporations, the formation of Majhi’s core team, and the selection of the next state BJP president.
Possible Changes in Governance and Administration
This visit holds significant administrative weight. According to sources, Majhi and Samal are expected to meet several Union ministers and top BJP functionaries to deliberate on pressing state matters. Previous visits to Delhi have been followed by reshuffles in the IAS cadre, and this trip could potentially bring further changes in governance, bureaucracy, and party structure in Odisha.
Political Tension and Public Curiosity
The timing and secrecy surrounding the visit have fueled intense speculation. Will there be fresh appointments to coveted corporation posts? Who will emerge as Majhi’s close aides? What organisational changes are on the horizon for the BJP in Odisha? The state awaits clarity, as political suspense continues to dominate the discourse.
