Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik will meet his Bihar counterpart Nitish Kumar on May 9, amid talks of regional parties coming together ahead of the 2024 general elections, officials said.
Nitish Kumar will meet Naveen Patnaik at 'Naveen Niwas' in Bhubaneswar around 12 pm, they said.
The Bihar Chief Minister and JD(U) leader had recently announced that he would travel across the country to unite opposition parties ahead of the Lok Sabha polls next year.
He has already met Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, West Bengal Chief Minister and TMC chief Mamata Banerjee, Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav, and Left leaders Sitaram Yechury and D Raja. Mr Patnaik, the BJD supremo, had also met Mamata Banerjee in March.
In December last year, Mr Patnaik had invited both Ms Banerjee and Mr Kumar to witness the hockey world cup in Odisha.
