General election 2024: BJD drops ‘Biju Odisha’ slogan, embraces ‘Naveen Odisha’

After remaining in power for long 23 years, the Biju Janata Dal (BJD) has sloughed its time-tested slogan ‘Biju Odisha’ off and started counting on ‘Naveen Odisha’.
On the occasion of Biju Jayanti, the conch party’s leaders and workers took the vow of ‘Naveen Odisha’. According to them, ‘Naveen Odisha’ means a new and developed Odisha. In other words, it is the party’s strategy to attract voters by propagating the development Odisha has achieved during Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik’s regime.
“In India, Odisha is one of the states which is on the path of development. Whatever progress the state has achieved is due to the leadership of our Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik. ‘New Odisha’ means we will take the state to the pinnacle of success,” said BJD leader Debi Prasad Mishra.
Here the moot question is ‘Will it do the BJD any good?”
“Who am I to deny if the Biju Janata Dal will say ‘Naveen Odisha’ instead of ‘Odisha’? But it depends on how the people of Odisha will accept it,” observed senior leader Damodar Rout.
On the other hand, BJD MLA Soumya Ranjan Patnaik at a programme organised on the occasion of Biju Jayanti at Paradip yesterday, said, “Biju Babu couldn’t remain in power for more than seven years. But the party named after him and ruled by his son has been giving you the honey of power for the last 20 to 22 years. But, are you capable enough to taste this honey? If you feel proud of your grandfather’s moustache, none will show respect any longer.”
“Young voters have seen Naveen Patnaik as their Chief Minister in their lifetime. They might not cast their votes in favour of the party after hearing about Biju Babu’s legacy in the 2024 general election. It seems to me that the party is propagating what it has achieved during its tenure,” opined Sandeep Mishra, a political analyst.

Several traffic violators across the State were slapped with hefty fines as the State Transport Authority (STA) began a week-long special crackdown on underage driving ahead of the zero fatality week.
According to sources, several minor students were fined Rs 25,000 during the special enforcement drive launched by the STA.
Taking to Twitter, STA wrote, “If caught, the parent or vehicle owner will be fined with Rs.25000 & a 3-year jail term while the registration of the vehicle will be cancelled. Minor will also not be eligible for applying for licence until he or she turns 25. #SayNoToUnderAgeDriving.”
“As per the government guidelines, we are observing Tuesday as zero tolerance day. The underage drivers without licence are in our focus. Stringent action will be taken against the violators,” said Bibhav Samantasinghara, Rourkela RTO.
“We are focusing more on the minors who are driving without license. The special crackdown is being carried out across Odisha. Cases against several violators have been registered,” said Lalmohan Sethi, additional commissioner of enforcement of STA.
“I would like to urge the parents not to give two wheelers to their children. We would be successful if we obey the rules. We don’t want to put anyone into trouble, our aim is to avoid untimely accidental deaths,” Sethi added.
Earlier yesterday, the STA had warned that the violators will be fined up to Rs 25,000 for underage driving. Besides, the vehicle will be seized and its registration will be cancelled.
Most importantly, a case will be lodged against the registered owner of the vehicle. As per the law, the violator can be awarded 3 years jail term.

The Electricity (Amendment) Bill, 2022 covers amendments related to power sector and there is no amendment proposal related to agriculture sector, the Parliament was told on Tuesday.
Power Minister R.K. Singh gave the assurance in response to a question in Lok Sabha during Question Hour.
“Further, the provision of subsidy as in the present Act i.e. Electricity Act, 2003 is not proposed to be changed and the states can continue to give subsidy to farmers and other consumers as they are doing at present,” he said.
As per Electricity Act, 2003, the subsidy to specific categories of consumers including domestic and farmers is decided by state governments.
The proposed legislation is currently under consideration of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Energy, which is headed by BJP MP Jagdambika Pal.
Last year during the Monsoon session, the Electricity (Amendment) Bill was referred to the Parliamentary Committee by the power minister, immediately after being introduced in Lok Sabha, amid protests by opposition that it encroached upon powers of states and allows privatisation of electricity on the lines of communication sector.
