Biju Janata Dal (BJD) has decided to renew its push for Special Category Status for Odisha, reported ANI. This decision came after a meeting of the party, chaired by BJD president Naveen Patnaik, and attended by all nine of the party's Rajya Sabha MPs.

During the meeting, discussions centered around the long-standing demand for Special Category Status, which has been a critical issue for Odisha. The designation is sought to secure more financial assistance from the central government, which could significantly aid the state's development.
