Discussions over strategies to floor the BJD-led government over its anti-people policies will be held tomorrow during the two day meet.
Popularising the Central schemes among people in Odisha would be the key agenda of the meeting, said Shankar Parida, State Coordinator of BJP Panhayati Raj committee.
“The BJP will tour villages in order to make people aware about the powers of the people and their representative at the grassroots level. The party will expose the State government’s massive scams and irregularities in the implementation of major welfare schemes. The BJP will explain to people how the BJD government is taking away the powers of the local representatives,” he added.
The party has prepared an elaborate strategy to expose the State government’s plans to suppress the powers of the people’s representatives.
Representatives from Panahayat levels have been invited to the meeting today which aimed at cornering the corrupt face of the State government, he pointed out.
The State BJP has geared up for the three-tier Panahayat polls scheduled to be held in February next year.
The move comes after the State Election Commission recently gave a green signal for conducting the polls.
The Commission had asked the Odisha Government to take necessary measures for delimitation of wards and reservations.
