==Policies and ideology==
BJD claims to be inspired by the philosophy of [[Biju Patnaik]] with strict adherence towards Secularism, Social Democracy, Social Equality and Social Justice. It does not claim any political ideology but if one goes through its policies, then the party sides with centre-left vision with Welfarism being a bigger chunk of the party's identity. Being a regional party, development of [[Odisha]] is its prime goal. The party has been in consistent opposition to the [[Indian National Congress]] (INC) which ruled the state for decades.<ref name="Encyclopedia Britannica"/><ref name="PTI 2019">{{cite web | author=PTI | title=We will not adopt the equal distance policy any more, says BJD's SN Patro | website=@businessline | date=17 May 2019 | url=https://www.thehindubusinessline.com/news/elections/we-will-not-adopt-the-equal-distance-policy-any-more-says-bjds-sn-patro/article27163921.ece | access-date=6 September 2019}}</ref><ref name="Dal 1997">{{cite web | last=Dal | first=Biju Janata | title=Manifesto | website=BJD:: Biju Janata Dal | date=26 December 1997 | url=http://www.bjdodisha.org.in/content/party/manifesto/ | access-date=6 September 2019}}</ref>
