Bhubaneswar: The Biju Janata Dal has bounced back in western Odisha with strong performance in the three-tier Panchayat elections.

Riding on the popularity of Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik and his people-centric transformative initiatives, the BJD has won the trust and confidence of people in western Odisha.
