Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) President Amit Shah will undertake a day's visit to Odisha on Sunday.
The visit comes as part of an agenda to strengthen the party's voter base in Odisha, ahead of the upcoming elections in the state, as well as the general elections next year.
During his visit, Shah is expected to attend meetings at the BJP state office for discussing various important matters.
He is also expected to hold a meeting with the party in-charges of the state's Lok Sabha and assembly seats.
Later in the day, Shah is expected to address gatherings and participate in a social media workshop.
The BJP and the ruling Biju Janata Dal (BJD) have been at loggerheads in the state.
