Cuttack: BJP President Amit Shah held a massive roadshow here on Wednesday evening to bolster the BJP's prospects in the Lok Sabha and assembly elections being simultaneously in Odisha. A day after Prime Minister Narendra Modi led a roadshow in Bhubaneswar, the BJP chief began the over 3 km long journey in an open vehicle amid tight security from Buxi Bazar in the millennium city.

Thousands of people gathered on both sides of the streets and chants of "Modi, Modi" and "Amit Shah Zindabad" rent the air as his campaign vehicle moved through the streets of Odisha's old capital. Shah, with BJP's Cuttack Lok Sabha candidate Prakash Mishra beside him, waved at the crowd as his carcade proceeded towards the Chandi Mandir.
