"I am going to Chennai on the occasion of the 'bhoomi puja' of Odisha Bhavan there. Tamil Nadu Chief Minister will grace the occasion," Patnaik told reporters here today while replying to a question.
The meeting between the two leaders assumes significance as both of them were among the non-Congress chief ministers who had opposed setting up of National Counter Terrorism Centre, accusing the Centre of infringing on the rights of states in a federal set-up.
The meeting also sparked speculation about their possible role in the ensuing presidential elections.
