The Biju Janata Dal (BJD) is stepping up its efforts to connect with tribal communities that have shifted their support to the BJP and Congress in the recent Assembly elections. As tribal groups raise various demands across several districts, BJD sees an opening to engage with them. Party President Naveen Patnaik recently led a meeting to form a new Tribal Cell, emphasizing the importance of tribal welfare. BJD criticized the BJP for disbanding the Special Development Council that was established to support tribal interests. The party plans to set up Tribal Committees in every district, highlighting that Naveen Patnaik has consistently stood by tribal communities, while accusing the BJP of betraying them.
BJD’s Strategic Push to Engage Tribal Communities
In a recent move, the Biju Janata Dal (BJD) is stepping up its efforts to connect with tribal communities, especially after many tribal voters shifted their support to the BJP and Congress in the latest Assembly elections. Recognizing the increased activism among tribal groups demanding their rights across various districts, the BJD sees this as a chance to strengthen its bond with these communities.
At a meeting with tribal leaders, BJD President Naveen Patnaik announced the formation of a Tribal Cell aimed at addressing tribal concerns. The party criticized the newly formed BJP government for disbanding the Special Development Council (SDC) that had previously been established to promote tribal welfare.
To enhance its outreach, BJD plans to create Tribal Committees in every district, working to ensure that the voices of tribal people are heard. BJD claims that the BJP has let down the tribal communities and emphasizes that Naveen Patnaik has always been a supporter of their rights.
This proactive approach by BJD highlights its commitment to bridging the gap with tribal voters and addressing their needs moving forward. By focusing on local issues and leveraging their network, the party aims to regain the trust of the tribal population in Odisha.
