Bhubaneswar: Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi and his Chhattisgarh counterpart Vishnu Deo Sai are scheduled to campaign for BJP’s Nuapada by-poll candidate Jay Dholakia on Thursday, party sources said. Majhi is slated to hold a road show in Komna block of Nuapada, while Sai will address a public meeting at Panchampur on Thursday.

Odisha’s Nuapada district shares borders with Mahasamund and Gariaband of Chhattisgarh. Earlier, Majhi had attended the BJP’s ‘Vijay Sankalp Samavesh’ on October 16, during which he took a sharp dig at the previous BJD government and accused it of neglecting Nuapada during its 24 years of rule in the State.

Majhi, hours before the announcement of the date of the bypoll, had unveiled a Rs 1,100 crore package for the development of Nuapada district.
