During the high-level visit, a comprehensive review of the functioning of both the state government and the party organisation will be conducted. Discussions will also focus closely on crafting an electoral strategy for lost assembly seats alongside strengthening grassroots booth-level management.
Speaking to ANI over the phone, state BJP president and Rajya Sabha MP Mahendra Bhatt stated that all necessary preparations for the national chief's visit have been finalised, with an array of programmes scheduled right from the airport to the party headquarters.
Bhatt added that the national president will provide vital guidance to party workers and leadership for the upcoming assembly elections, while effectively sending a clear directive for the entire state organisational machinery to shift into election mode immediately.

The meeting was attended by Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi, Deputy Chief Minister Pravati Parida, BJP state president Manmohan Samal and other senior party leaders.
Nabin has embarked on a two-day organisational visit to Odisha from Sunday.
