Newly-selected Gajapati District Congress Committee president Bibhuti Bhusan Patra on Sunday said, “My main aim is to ensure victory of the party in the district’s two constituencies, Paralakhemundi and Mohana, which are known as the bastion of the Congress, in the upcoming 2019 general elections.”
After being nominated as district Congress chief on Saturday, Patra also said that he would work to make the organisation strong at the grassroots level in the district.
He thanked AICC president Rahul Gandhi, OPCC president Niranjan Patnaik and working president Pradeep Majhi for his selection as the head of the district party unit. Congress leaders and workers of the district have congratulated Patra and thanked the AICC and the OPCC for reposing faith on Patra’s leadership.
