Hi Karthik,
Try this...

<add key="BWFM_ConnStr" value="Password=buildfolio1819;User ID=sa;Initial Catalog=ORQSample;Data Source=[ServerName\MachineName]\MSDENEW"/>

In the above replace [ServerName\MachineName] with the Machine Name where MSDE (Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine) is installed. If you are trying to access MSDE installed in the local machine then use

Source=.\MSDENEW
