Former Odisha chief minister and BJD president Naveen Patnaik on Tuesday confirmed he will begin district tours after the ongoing monsoon season, asserting that his party could regain power if its workers unite and fight together.

In a meeting with party leaders from Angul district, Patnaik stressed the need to reach out to the public and spotlight the failures of the current BJP government in the state. He reviewed BJD's ongoing activities in the district during the session.

Patnaik's remarks about the BJD's prospects of returning to power are crucial as the party gears up to launch its annual outreach initiative, Jana Sampark Padayatra, on Wednesday. He encouraged party workers to highlight the achievements of the previous BJD government, particularly its success in significantly reducing poverty in Odisha.
