Barring Balasore, the remaining five sitting Congress Lok

Sabha MPs are from western and southern parts of the state. After his day-long programme at Sambalpur, Gandhi would visit Cuttack. He would interact with panchayat, block and district-level office-bearers of the Congress from several other districts at a personal level on February 19 at Cuttack, a senior party leader said. Gandhi is also scheduled to attend a meeting with members of the extended working committee the same day at Cuttack, he said. "Rahulji's visit will certainly encourage party workers," the party leader said.
