"Biju Babu had a dream for development of all sections of the society, including womenfolk, working class, tribals and others. He had also dreamt for the development in Information and Technology, education and some other sectors," Patnaik said.
He said he has been trying to fulfil the dreams of Biju Babu with development of all sectors and all sections of the people.
