A selection process for appointment of presidents of District Congress Committees (DCCs) and also appointment of functionaries in the Pradesh Congress Committee would be initiated in the State soon.
This was informed by All India Congress Committee general secretary and Odisha-in-charge Jitendra Singh at a Press meet here on Friday.
Singh said he along with PCC president Niranjan Patnaik and others met workers and leaders in 16 districts and discussed with them about strengthening the Congress in grassroots level. “We want to appoint young leaders as DCC presidents for which we have undertaken a talent search drive. The search is about to be completed and we would soon inform about appointment of DCC chiefs and PCC functionaries,” Singh said.
Alleging that the BJD is ‘B’ team of the BJP and they are not opposing each other on important issues, Singh said the Congress would work as the main Opposition party in the State.
“I heard newly elected Odisha BJP president Samir Mohanty saying he will work for development of the State in coordination with the BJD Government. While the BJD is not opposing corruption in the Ujjwala Yojana, the BJP is keeping mum on the KALIA irregularities. The BJP and the BJD have united,” he said.
