TNI Editorial: The Biju Janata Dal (BJD) held a statewide ‘Save Education’ campaign from July 9, stepping up its attack on the BJP government over alleged deterioration in Odisha’s education sector. The party highlighted issues such as teacher shortages, infrastructure gaps, school closures, and concerns over the quality of education.

Through protests, public meetings, and grassroots outreach, BJD aims to mobilize students, parents, teachers, and civil society in its quest to get support of youth and student power. The campaign signals its intent to make education a major political issue, putting sustained pressure on the state government ahead of future electoral battles.
