Naveen Patnaik’s Special Birthday Celebration
Today marks the birthday of former Odisha Chief Minister and Biju Janata Dal (BJD) President Naveen Patnaik, one of India’s longest-serving chief ministers. This year, Patnaik will celebrate his birthday in a more public and engaging manner.
After nearly six months away from public programs, the veteran leader will attend events at SOS Village in Bhubaneswar, where he will distribute sweets and interact with children, according to Bhubaneswar Mayor Sulochana Das.
Later in the day, Patnaik is also scheduled to join the BJD’s ongoing ‘Jansampark Padayatra’ in the Ekamra Bhubaneswar constituency, where he will meet party workers and encourage grassroots participation.
BJD’s Statewide Outreach Drive
The BJD’s Jansampark Padayatra, which began from Suando in Puri district on the birth anniversary of Utkalamani Pandit Gopabandhu Das, aims to connect directly with people across the state.
Party leaders and volunteers are conducting door-to-door campaigns, highlighting the achievements of Naveen Patnaik’s previous government while pointing out the shortcomings of the current BJP-led administration.
The padayatra will continue in every ward, block, and constituency of Odisha throughout the month.
Wishes Pour In
Several prominent personalities and well-wishers have extended their greetings to Naveen Patnaik. Renowned sand artist Sudarsan Pattnaik took to X and wrote,
“Wishing a very Happy Birthday to @Naveen_Odisha Sir. May Mahaprabhu Jagannath bless you with good health and long life. 🙏”
Supporters and followers of the former chief minister have also flooded social media with messages of love, gratitude, and admiration, celebrating his long-standing contribution to Odisha’s growth and governance.
