BJD president and Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik summoned all the MPs, MlAs and district level office bearers of the party to Bhubaneswar on Friday and held a discussion with them about the current political situation in the district.
He reviewed organisational matter and progress in the signature campaign demanding special status to the State.
Patnaik reportedly asked the district level office bearers and elected representatives of Ganjam to form Booth Committee at Panchayat level within a month. Patnaik made a threadbare discussion at his residence with the local BJD leaders on political and organisational matters and asked them to expedite the collection of signature of the public in support of the demands, said district BJD president Subas Moharana here.
Among others, Revenue Minister Suryanarayan Patro, Ministers Bikram Arukh, Usha Devi, MlAs Sugyani Kumari Deo, Ramesh Chandra Chyau Pattnaik, Pradip Kumar Panigrahi, Purnna Chandra Sethi, Devaraj Mohanty, Purnna Chandra Swain, Niranjan Pradhan, district BJD president Moharana and general secretary Anil Kumar Sahu were present.
