The Biju Janata Dal (BJD) celebrated its 28th foundation day with grandeur at Sankha Bhawan in Bhubaneswar, Odisha. The event was presided over by the party’s long-standing leader and Chief Minister, Naveen Patnaik, who highlighted the party’s journey of dedication and service to the people of Odisha.

A Legacy of Empowerment and Development

The BJD, founded in 1997, has been instrumental in shaping Odisha’s development narrative. Under Naveen Patnaik’s leadership, the party has prioritized inclusive growth, women’s empowerment, and sustainable development. The foundation day celebrations served as a reminder of the BJD’s unwavering commitment to addressing the state’s socio-economic challenges.

Patnaik took the opportunity to honor his father, Biju Patnaik, whose vision for a progressive Odisha laid the groundwork for the party’s core principles. Tributes were paid to Biju Patnaik, with leaders reflecting on his contributions to regional and national politics.

Naveen Patnaik’s Criticism of BJP

In his address, Naveen Patnaik criticized the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for allegedly employing false narratives that influenced the BJD’s performance in recent elections. Patnaik accused the BJP of misleading voters through divisive tactics, adding that the BJD remains focused on the welfare of Odisha’s citizens despite these setbacks.

Patnaik’s critique underscores a growing tension between the BJD and BJP in Odisha, where both parties vie for political dominance. While the BJP has been making inroads in the state, the BJD continues to hold a strong base through its focus on grassroots development and regional identity.

Focus on Odisha’s Future

Despite electoral challenges, the BJD is optimistic about its future. Naveen Patnaik reaffirmed the party’s vision for long-term growth in Odisha, emphasizing its role as a regional party dedicated to the people’s welfare.

The event also showcased the BJD’s key initiatives:

• Empowering women through financial independence and political representation.
• Developing rural infrastructure to bridge the urban-rural divide.
• Promoting sustainability in agriculture and industrial sectors.

A Message of Resilience

The celebration concluded with a renewed pledge by BJD leaders to continue serving Odisha for another century, staying true to their core values of development and empowerment. The party's resilience amidst political challenges was evident in the optimism and unity displayed by its members.

Honoring Biju Patnaik’s Vision

The event paid homage to Biju Patnaik, the party’s guiding force, by reflecting on his contributions to Odisha’s political and developmental landscape. Leaders highlighted his vision of a self-reliant Odisha and the BJD’s efforts to fulfill that dream.

As the BJD marks 28 years, it stands as a testament to its commitment to Odisha’s progress, weathering political challenges, and remaining focused on its mission to serve the people.
