March 14, 2014 09:39

Bharatiya Janata Party's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi will address 'Vijay Shankalp Samavesh' rally in Odisha's Sambalpur district on Friday.

The Odisha police have made elaborate security arrangements for the Gujarat Chief Minister's rally scheduled to be held at PHD ground in Sambalpur.

Last month, the BJP strongman had made a maiden appearance in the state capital in 2014 poll campaign and heavily criticised the idea of Third Front.

Modi had said, "The members of Third Front have "destroyed" every state they have ruled whether it was Samajwadi Party in Uttar Pradesh, Left parties in West Bengal or BJD in Odisha."

Modi had attacked Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik saying that most of the Odiya migrants working in Gujarat were from his home district Ganjam.
