The highest policy-making body, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh will reportedly be holding a seven-day annual meeting in Odisha next week. This will be the first-ever event of its kind, amidst BJP’s increasing efforts to gain foothold in Odisha. Biju Janata Dal or BJD has been the prominent party in Odisha for decades. While he is currently serving his fifth term, the chief of BJD, Naveen Patnaik has been the incumbent Chief Minister of the State for four consecutive terms since 2000. Before him, his father Biju Patnaik was amongst the top politicians from the State.

Seen as an effort to shore up BJP in the state of Odisha, the Akhil Bharatiya Karyakari Mandal’s meeting will also be attended by the RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat. This meeting will be held between October 14 and 20 within a privately managed university in Bhubaneswar. Around 400 functionaries from different states and affiliated groups of RSS are likely to attend the grand meeting. It is said that the working President of BJP, JP Nadda will also be present at the meeting.
