BJD leaders and workers will visit every family and interact with people during the programme. The mass contact programme aims to reach the voters ahead of the elections.
During the campaign, party leaders and workers will directly mingle with every family member and try to know their expectations from the government, their feedback on the welfare measures launched by the state government during the last several years and their problems.
A senior leader said this programme will enable the ruling party to make an assessment of its strength and weakness from the mouth of people living in different parts of the state. The program will also inspire the party workers at the grassroots and further strengthen the organisation ahead of the Lok Sabha and state Assembly elections, he added.
