BJD leadership has made up its mind to make the birthday of Naveen Patnaik more meaningful this year. The party did not organize any major celebrations, instead they decided to go to meet the people in its statewide Jansampark Padayatra. The project was launched on the birthday of Pandit Utkalamani Gopabandhu Das of Suando village of Puri district -where the great freedom fighter and social reformer was born.

The inclusion of Naveen Patnaik is one way of symbolizing his interest in grassroots outreach and restoration of party ties in the run-up to the next political season.

It is believed his reunion into the public programs six months later is going to uplift the morale of BJD workers in the entire state of Odisha. This inclusion of the party supremo in the Ekamra Bhubaneswar constituency padayatra will act as a good inspirational touch to the cadres and supporters. Political observers feel that this step will revive the party base and also make it stronger in its image of people-centric leadership.

Securements and administration have been increased due to the huge number of people who are likely to attend the event. The police of Bhubaneswar have gone into elaborated preparations to make the gathering smooth and secure. Individual citizens who turn up in the event are recommended to adhere to traffic guidelines and to exercise discipline during the padayatra.

The fact that Naveen Patnaik chose to celebrate his birthday by attending the BJD public outreach campaign shows that he is committed to Odisha people rather than celebrating his own birthday. This symbolic action sends a strong message of service, humility, and political re-engagement a reminder on how long he has been associated with the citizens of the state.
