Venkaiah & Himanta meet Governor amid Jharkhand poll buzz

BHUBANESWAR: Former vice-president M Venkaiah Naidu and Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarmaon Friday met Governor Raghubar Das separately.

Sarma, who is in charge of Jharkhand Assembly election, told mediapersons that he met the Governor for a personal work and it had nothing to do with the upcoming polls in the neighbouring state.

However, his sudden visit to Odisha to meet the Governor assumed significance in the backdrop of reports that Das is keen to return to Jharkhand politics and contest the election which is due in January next year.
