Gandhi will enter Odisha from Jharkhand and head towards Chhattisgarh after the programme in Odisha, the OPCC chief said.
He further said that the party has been working hard for ‘Mission 90’ (to win 90 seats in Odisha Assembly Elections-2024). Congress will field candidates who had lost with less margin in the 2019 polls and those who have organizational strength, he added.
