BJD To Celebrate 25th Foundation Day In Puri On Dec 26

Bhubaneswar: The ruling Biju Janata Dal (BJD), which could not celebrate its 25th foundation day last year due to COVID pandemic last year, will organise it in Puri on December 26.

Speaking to media persons in Bhubaneswar on Sunday, BJD vice-president Debi Prasad Mishra said party president and Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik has approved a proposal for the celebration.

“We could not celebrate 25th foundation day properly last year due to the pandemic. Our party president has given his approval for the function to be held in Puri on December 26,” he said.

Stating that all office-bearers of the party’s state, district and block units and elected representatives will participate in the function, he said Naveen would address the party leaders and workers on the day.

The BJD foundation day would be held in all Assembly constituencies in next 15 days.

The BJD, which was founded on December 26, 1997, formed the government in alliance with the BJP in Odisha for the first time in 2000 elections. Since then, the regional party has been continuously voted to power for 5 times though it parted ways with the BJP in 2009.
