Bhubaneswar: The Biju Janata Dal (BJD) Sunday announced that it would celebrate the 105th birth anniversary of former Chief Minister Biju Patnaik across the state.
The party has written to the local functionaries, legislatures and party workers to observe the birth anniversary and devote the day in organising ceremonies and also to contribute towards the welfare of the people.
“Like every year, on March 5 this year, the Biju Janata Dal (BJD) will celebrate the 105th birth anniversary of the proverbial man Biju Babu in a grand ceremony with the people of Odisha across the state.
