The BJP State unit has convened an urgent executive meeting on Friday amidst speculations that the party is planning a “decisive political onslaught” against the ruling BJD.
The meeting comes close on the heels of the newly-appointed State president Manmohan Samal meeting the party’s national chief JP Nadda in New Delhi a couple of days ago.
The BJP is struggling in the State to make good scores ever since it was shunted out of an 11-year-old alliance with the BJD. Though in 2019 it showed some semblance of revival by winning eight Lok Sabha and 23 Assembly seats, its fortune nosedived in the urban and rural bodies’ polls.
