BHUBANESWAR:Inspired by the leadership of the successful Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modiji and the development work of the popular Chief Minister Shri Mohanthar Majhi, former MP from Balasore constituency and BJD district president Ravindra Kumar Jena has officially joined the BJP today after leaving the BJD. Similarly, many elected public representatives and Panchayat Samiti chairmen, District Council members, Sarpanch, Naib Sarpanch, Councillor, Ward Councillors, Presidents of various cooperative banks and senior leaders of Balasore district have left the BJD and joined the BJP. At this merger ceremony held at the state office, State President Shri Manmohan Samal welcomed everyone to the party with party hats and northern attire.
On this occasion, State President Shri Samal said that with this merger, the Bharatiya Janata Party has become stronger not only in Balasore but also in Odisha and the country. We all have to cooperate to fulfill the dream of the successful Prime Minister Narendra Modi to build a developed India by 2047 and the goal set by the popular Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi to build a prosperous Odisha by 2036. The basic problems of the people have to be solved. BJP is the largest political party in the world. This party is a party of nationalist ideology, it is a worker-oriented party. BJP and NDA are in government in 21 states of the country. BJP has been fulfilling all the promises made in the resolution. In this regard, the trust of the people in the BJP government is increasing day by day. As the trust and confidence of the people of the state is increasing day by day on the leadership of the successful Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi and such people-oriented work of the popular Chief Minister Shri Mohan Charan Majhi, the participation in the BJP is increasing. Under the BJP government, the country has become self-reliant in every field, from agriculture to education, transportation, aircraft manufacturing, to the manufacture of weapons and ammunition.
Modi has emerged as a unique leader in the world. In the last 2 years, the BJP government has become the trust of the people of Odisha by doing many people-oriented works in the state. To increase the income of farmers, the BJP government has increased the support price of paddy and implemented many schemes such as irrigation system, Subhadra Yojana, digging four gates of Shrimandir, Rs 500 crore corpus fund for Shrimandir, ensuring allowance to eligible beneficiaries. We all have to work together to take all these works forward and build a developed Balasore, said Shri Samal.
The development of the region is the main goal of all of us. It is not possible to build a prosperous Odisha and a developed India without the Bharatiya Janata Party. Keeping this in mind, we have all joined the Bharatiya Janata Party. Our participation in Balasore, Bhadrak and Mayurbhanj districts will further increase. Following the path of the successful Prime Minister Modiji and Chief Minister Majhi, regional development is the main goal of all of us, said former MP Ravindra Jena.
