Khurda: Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik on Tuesday launched the Ghare Ghare Shankha campaign from Pradhan Sahi of Kantilo under Jatni block of Khurda district, coinciding with Biju Patnaik’s 103rd birth anniversary.
Launching the campaign, which literally translates into “conch shell in every house”, Naveen asked everybody to sport the symbol in their houses and come forward with opinions, which the party will included in its manifesto. With Assembly and Lok Sabha elections round the corner, the ruling BJD has decided to reach out to people of the state and seek their opinion vis-a-vis the party’s election manifesto.
Senior BJD leader Arun Sahu and spokesperson Sasmit Patra had announced this door-to-door campaign on Monday.
