Congress leader and Barabati-Cuttack MLA Mohammed Moquim on Wednesday finally commented on the demand for a change in the PCC leadership.
Supporting the demand, he said the party needs a young leadership in the State.
He said, “Coexistence of youth and the elderly or experienced persons is always needed in every sphere. Youth can do many things that an aged person cannot. Equation of young leaders with senior ones will definitely help the party strengthen its base.”
Notably, at a closed-door meeting of party dissidents held here recently, many leaders suggested Moquim’s name as a replacement of Pradesh Congress Committee (OPCC) president NiranjanPatnaik. A delegation is likely to meet AICC president Sonia Gandhi this month and submit a proposal in favour of Moquim as OPCC chief.
