Odisha BJP to launch month-long door-to-door campaign against BJD government

The Odisha unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Saturday announced a month-long door-to-door campaign against Biju Janata Dal (BJD) government to highlight alleged deterioration in the law and order situation, and growing corruption, in the State.

At the State executive meeting attended by Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, in-charge of the Odisha unit Sunil Bansal, and the State BJP president Manmohan Samal, it was decided to sustain the party’s campaign till the 2024 elections.  The month-long campaign will begin from May 29 and end on June 30.

“The law and situation has worsened. A former Minister was shot down point blank four months ago but the government is yet to unravel the motive behind the killing. Odisha is ranked among the top States as far as crime against women is concerned,” Lekhashree Samantsinghar, BJP spokesperson, said.
