Apparently taking a cue from Aam Aadmi Party’s (AAP) nationwide ‘Jhadu Chalao Yatra’ against corrupt politicians, Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik on Thursday formally launched BJD’s election campaign from Hunjilikatu, his Assembly constituency in Ganjam district highlighting the UPA’s govt’s neglect towards state.
The CM blew the conch, the regional party’s election symbol before addressing a massive rally. Later, he joined a similar rally at Duburi in Jajpur district.
The party’s statewide 13 day campaign ‘Sankha Bajao Swabhiman Banchao’ (Blow conch, save self respect) will continue till March 5.
According to party leaders, the aim of the programme is to highlight the Central neglect of Odisha in all spheres.
The campaign will also propagate the welfare schemes launched by the state government from its own resources.
A massive membership drive will also be carried out during the campaign. “We are expecting to add five lakh more to the nearly 35 lakh who are already members of the party by the end of the campaign,” a senior BJD leader said.
The party will also hold three mega congregations on March 5, the birth anniversary of Biju Patnaik after whom the party is named. While a youth congregation will be held in Bhubaneswar, a women’s congregation will be held in Berhampur.
A convention for farmers, and construction workers will be organised at Sambalpur.
