The BJP has named Bibhuri Jena, a dynamic youth leader, as the new president of Ganjam oganisational district. He was State secretary of the party prior to this nomination.
Soon after he was named as district chief, hundreds of party workers and district-level office-bearers assembled in the party’s district office at Gandhinagar square and gave a rousing reception to Jena with flower bouquets. Jena replaced Kanhu Charan Pati.
They also hoped that the party would be strengthened further at grass-root level. They were also elated over Jena’s appointment as it came ahead of Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan’s visit to Brahmapur on Sunday. Surprisingly, the news regarding his appointment came when a preparatory meeting for Pradhan’s visit was going on in presence of Jena.
Among others, Pati, Sunil Kumar Sahu, Prabhat Kiran Sadangi, Madan Mohan Patra, Arun Kumar Panda, Pradip Mishra and several Mandal presidents were present.
Jena, who rose as leader from student life, leader is known for his good organisational capabilities. Jena had narrowly lost the Gopalpur Assembly constituency to BJD’s Dr Pradeep Kumar Panigrahi in the last election.
BJP leaders and workers of Gajapati district on Saturday gave a rousing reception to MLA K Narayan Rao for his new appointment as district president.
