Biju Janata Dal (BJD), led by Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik, has formed Zilla Parishads (ZP) in all 30 districts after winning the presidential seat, officials said on Sunday.
As the BJD has the magic number of ZP members in all districts, it is able to form councils in all districts smoothly, the officials said. For the first time in the history of Odisha, a single party has formed ZPs in all districts in the state.
