National Vice President of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and party’s Lok Sabha candidate for Kendrapara, Baijayant Panda, took out Jan Ashirwad and Jan Sampark Yatra in the Aul Assembly constituency on Monday.
The BJP stalwart was accompanied by the party’s MLA nominee for the Aul constituency Krushna Chandra Panda in a massive bike rally from Gadagadi Ghat.
Braving the severe hot and humid conditions, thousands of party workers and supporters thronged the rally that passed through scores of villages under four panchayats including Bharigada, Barunadia, Olabar and Lahuni. Locals warmly welcomed the rally and joined it on the way at various places.
