Former Union Minister and Sambalpur MP Dharmendra Pradhan received a grand welcome upon his arrival at the Biju Patnaik International Airport in Bhubaneswar on Tuesday.

A large number of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) workers and supporters gathered outside the airport well before his arrival to greet the senior leader. Several BJP MLAs and senior party functionaries were also present and welcomed Pradhan with bouquets and floral garlands.

Among those present at the airport were BJP MLAs Amar Nayak and Tankadhar Tripathy, former Odisha BJP president Sameer Mohanty, and senior party leader Golak Mohapatra, along with several other party workers.

As Pradhan exited the airport, enthusiastic supporters raised slogans in his favour and felicitated him with flower garlands, creating a festive atmosphere at the airport premises.

The heavy turnout of party workers prompted the police to make special security arrangements to regulate the crowd and ensure smooth movement in and around the airport.

The visit has generated considerable enthusiasm among BJP cadres in Odisha. According to party sources, Pradhan is scheduled to participate in a series of organisational meetings and other party-related programmes during his visit to the state.
