Bhubaneswar: The newly-elected president of the Odisha BJP unit Samir Mohanty on Friday said that the saffron party is gaining popularity in the state.
“The diligence and perseverance of the workers have helped the party to win the trust of the people as the voting percentage has jumped from 1 per cent to 38 per cent,” Mohanty said after taking charge of the president of the state unit.
He said his first priority will be to reach out to the people in 37,000 booths and ensure that they are availing the benefits of several welfare programmes of the Centre. “All party workers and leaders will be involved in this mission as part of an exercise to strengthen the party base at the grassroots,” he added.
