CM Naveen Not To Celebrate His Birthday Tomorrow

Bhubaneswar: Odisha Chief Minister and BJD supremo Naveen Patnaik has decided not to celebrate his birthday on Sunday.

He has also requested well-wishers not to visit Naveen Nivas tomorrow on the occasion of his birthday.

Naveen urged his supporters, well-wishers, and BJD activists not to visit his residence, Naveen Nivas. “I am always indebted to the love and good wishes of the people of Odisha,” he said.

Patnaik has stated that he will be leaving for Hyderabad on Sunday for the ‘Make In Odisha’ programme.

This will be the fifth consecutive year the BJD supremo will give his birthday celebrations a miss.

He had chosen not to celebrate his birthday last year and 2020 due to the Covid situation and in 2018, and 2019 owing to cyclone Titli and Fani.

The CM had also given his birthday celebrations a miss in 2016 as a mark of solidarity with the jawans killed in the Uri terror attack and in 2013 and 2014 when Odisha and other parts of the country were hit by cyclonic storms Phailin and Hudhud respectively.
