Stating that people’s faith in the BJD has been proved by continuous victories in all elections and bypolls, he said that the party now has Zilla Parishad presidents in all 30 districts and won 80 per cent seats in urban local body (ULB) polls. “This has given us inspiration to carry forward our service to the people and get more closer to them,” he said.
