Rahul, Nadda to address Lok Sabha poll rallies in Odisha
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and BJP president JP Nadda are scheduled to address election rallies in different parts of Odisha on April 28th. Rahul Gandhi is expected to address a public meeting in Salepur, Cuttack district, and pay homage to Utkal Gourav Madhusudan Das in Satyabhamapur. AICC general secretary Ajoy Kumar highlighted that attendees from four Lok Sabha constituencies—Cuttack, Kendrapara, Jajpur, and Jagatsinghpur—will participate in Rahul Gandhi’s rally.
On the same day, BJP president JP Nadda will address a public gathering in Berhampur and meet party workers in Nabarangpur.
