The formation of the state executive committee of BJD is expected soon, which will pave the way for restructuring the party’s grassroots organizations, including its women’s, youth, and student wings.

Naveen’s continued leadership will further strengthen the BJD’s organizational framework and maintain its stronghold in Odisha’s political landscape.

Under the unwavering leadership of Naveen Patnaik, the BJD continues to embody the strength and spirit of every Odia.
