Bhubaneswar: As part of the spade work on ahead of panchayat polls in Odisha next year, the State unit of BJP Wednesday decided to set up ‘Shakti Kendras’ (Power Centres) in every panchayat.
The purpose of these kendras will be to reach out to the people and spread the success story of the Narendra Modi government at the Centre besides highlighting the failures of the BJD government in the State.
After a meeting of district level party office bearers here, Prithviraj Harichandan, General Secretary, State BJP, said, “They (activists at the kendras) will apprise the people of the achievements of the NDA government. At the same time, they will create awareness among people about the BJD’s negligence towards them and its failure to spend Central funds.”
Meanwhile, refuting the BJP's charges, Amar Prasad Satpathy, BJD spokesperson, said, “After the election process got over in 2014, we reached out to people and made them aware through the Jana Sampark Yatra held on the occasion of Biju Babu’s birth centenary celebration. People know and realisel what is going on. We need not worry.”
