Bhubaneswar: Chief of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh Mohan Bhagwat today arrived in Bhubaneswar on a nine-day visit to the State.

The meeting is scheduled to discuss a host of issues including, abrogation of Article 370, ban on Triple Talaq, forthcoming assembly polls, world climate, the implementation of Registrar Council of India (RCI) and Ram Mandir issues.

At a time when BJP is making significant progress in Odisha and became main opposition party, the timing of the RSS meeting is seen as a crucial move, said a political observer.
