June 28, 2021. It’s a just a normal day for everyone. I woke up to receive the tour schedule of BJD’s Organisational Secretary, Jajpur MLA and Mayurbhanj District In-charge Pranab Prakash Das. His work schedule starts at 10 AM and ends at 6:30 PM. During that period, he is scheduled to visit 9 blocks and address the workers while reviewing the party functioning.

People must be wondering what’s new? Yes, as I said earlier, it’s just normal for everyone. But, what makes it special today is the birthday of our Warrior Bobby Bhai. Putting personal celebrations behind, he is busy in strengthening the party at the grassroots. He is neither complacent nor worried. He believes in Karma. With the blessings of our beloved CM Shri Naveen Patnaik and with the perfect coordination of our party at the ground level, BJD is growing every passing day.

Bobby Bhai never hankers for any post or position. His only goal and objective is to strengthen the Biju Janata Dal (BJD) at the grassroots level and add more power to our CM’s invincibility and popularity. People of Odisha believe in Mahaprabhu Jagannath. And, with his blessings, Shri Naveen Patnaik continues to serve the people. As he says always, 4.5 crore Odias are his family.

Bobby Bhai is the Senapati, the trusted lieutenant of the party, who has set his clear focus and working towards that goal. He works round the clock and cares for all. He stands by all whenever there is a need. He believes in political competition, but not rivalry or feud. He has the human values and compassion and those who know him personally or watched from a close angle, know it better.

He always says, we are doing politics for the State, not for self. Politics will determine the fate of a nation or state. We can’t live without it. But, in this process, we should indulge in vindictiveness, witch hunting or hate politics. He strongly believes in the politics of humility, service, development and compassion. This is what he has learnt from his late Father Ashok Das and our popular CM Shri Naveen Patnaik.

On his Birthday, I pray Mahaprabhu Jagannatha to bless him with more power, energy and success so that he can serve the State in all possible ways.
