Samir Mohanty, who took charge as BJP State president on Friday, said his priority would be to serve people of the State and strengthen all 37,000 booth-level organisations across the State.
Mohanty too said his party would work to ensure that benefits of welfare works of the Narendra Modi Government reach all eligible beneficiaries at the grassroots level.
“I am a common worker of the party. I am committed to work for the party as a convenor or a facilitator. I thank all workers working at the 37,000 booths dedicatedly for the party,” said Mohanty.
Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan said the party would make all efforts to make Odisha number one State. Union Minister Pratap Saragi called upon party workers to work hard so that the party would form the next Government in the State.
Leader of Opposition in the State Assembly Pradipta Naik asserted that the BJP would be strengthened under the leadership of Mohanty.
Outgoing president Basant Panda handed over charges to Mohanty.
Among others, BJP national assistant secretary (organisation) Soudan Singh, Odisha-in-charge Arun Singh, Union Ministers Dharmendra Pradhan and Pratap Sarangi, national vice-president Baijyant Panda, MP Aparajita Sarangi, former president KV Singh Deo and all MLAs and MPs greeted Mohanty.
