Modi will also take part in a roadshow in Bhubaneswar on Friday, Odisha BJP vice-president Golak Mohapatra said. “On May 11, he will address three public rallies – the first in Kandhamal at 9.30 am, the second in Bolangir at 11.30 am and another in Bargarh at 1 pm,” he said.

“The PM will also hold a roadshow in Bhubaneswar from 8 pm on Friday. He will stay the night at the Raj Bhavan,” Mohapatra said. The roadshow will start from BJP's state headquarters near Sri Ram Mandir and end at Vani Vihar Square.

Tight security arrangements have been made for the roadshow and the poll rallies, police said.
