Bjd in a sentence

Bhubaneswar: The Biju Janata Dal (BJD) today demanded strict action against some BJP workers and supporters for deadly attack on BJD worker in Jhrasuguda during campaign for the ensuing by-poll.

BJP state general secretary Golak Mohapatra, in a counter press conference came down heavily on the ruling BJD and said: “Now the BJD had admitted that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s schemes were helping the poor and farmers.

A day after a BJD MP and Union minister Dharmendra Pradhan attacked an officer of the Odisha chief minister’s office, BJD president and CM Naveen Patnaik hit back saying they do not have any other issues.

Claiming Pradhan will not win the seat, the BJD legislator said, “The BJD and I have the capacity of winning hearts of people.

BJD had promised to transform Odisha, but pushed the state backwards.

Justifying the party’s recent moves, BJD floor leader in the Pinaki Mishra called the Opposition’s no-confidence motion a “pointless exercise”.

The Biju Janata Dal (BJD) has reacted strongly to the statement of former Odisha Chief secretary Bijay Patnaik who recently joined Congress party.

The Biju Janata Dal (BJD) was formed in the name of his father and Naveen Patnaik was asked to lead it.

The SHGs are considered the biggest support base of BJD’s electoral success in the past two decades.

When BJP Panchayat President Subrata Pradhan reached the spot to enquire, BJD workers allegedly attacked him with machetes.

While BJD and BJP are rivals in Odisha's state assembly elections, party spokesperson Prasanna Acharya stated, "Being a regional party, we have our own policies.

Advocate General Ashok Kumar Parija, two advisors to the chief minister and the IT secretary have resigned from their posts after the fall of the BJD government in Odisha.

Also, BJD’s two sitting MLAs, Arabinda Dhali from Jaydev assembly seat and Premananda Nai from Telkoi constituency, also resigned from the party and joined the BJP.

Arup Mohan Patnaik the BJD Lok Sabha nominee, assembly candidates Rudra Pratap Maharathy of Pipili, Sunil Kumar Mohanty of Puri, Umakanta Samantaray of Brahmagiri and Sanjay Kumar Das Burma of Satyabadi addressed the meeting.

As compared to the coastal and southern regions, the BJD, leaders say, is “relatively weak” in the western parts, and Patnaik’s decision is meant to highlight his commitment to the region, which comprises five Lok Sabha seats and 35 assembly segments.

As the bonhomie between the BJD and the BJP – which is the principal Opposition – continued to create ripples, both sides apparently mounted a “damage control” exercise too.

Biju Janata Dal (BJD) president and Leader of Opposition in Odisha Assembly Wednesday congratulated National Conference (NC) leader Omar Abdullah on being sworn in as the Chief Minister and Jammu and Kashmir.

BJD’s Ganjam district president Ramesh Chaupatnaik said, “She is a young and educated woman.

BJP leader Purna Chandra Mallick, who attended the meeting on behalf of the party, submitted a petition to the commission to address their complaints of alleged booth rigging by the BJD during elections.

BJP member Tankadhar Tripathy, however, criticised the BJD and Congress for raising ST, SC and OBC issues with a vested political interest.
