The Biju Janata Dal (BJD) has dissolved all its state-level frontal organisations in preparation for the upcoming organisational election. This strategic move aims to streamline the party's structure and ensure a smooth election process.
An office order issued by the BJD on Sunday stated, "All the State level Frontal Organisations of Biju Janata Dal, such as Biju Mahila Janata Dal, Biju Yuva Janata Dal, Biju Chhatra Janata Dal, Biju Shramika Samukhya, Legal Cell, Apravasi Cell, are hereby dissolved with immediate effect in view of the forthcoming Organisational Election of the Party."
The party has appointed senior leader and MLA Pratap Keshari Deb as the state returning officer for the organisational polls for the third consecutive time. This decision was made by BJD supremo Naveen Patnaik, who emphasized the importance of a smooth election process.
Deb expressed his gratitude to Patnaik for entrusting him with this responsibility once again. He outlined that the elections to various party organisational bodies will be conducted in four phases, starting from the grassroots level and culminating at the state level.
He also mentioned that an election schedule will be prepared soon, and election conducting and monitoring officers will be appointed to oversee the process. Deb assured that the entire organisational polls would be completed within three months, aligning with the party's goal to strengthen its organization at all levels.
BJD aims to fortify its structure from the grassroots to the state level, especially in light of the upcoming Panchayat and urban local body elections in 2027. Party leaders maintain that BJD continues to hold a prominent position as the leading political party in the state.
