Bhubaneswar, July 16: The Biju Janata Dal (BJD) is taking steps to restructure its organization following the recent electoral setbacks in Odisha. Led by President Naveen Patnaik, the party aims to rejuvenate itself and address the election reverses.
The party supremo has appointed 14 leaders as state-level spokespersons, including Prasanna Acharya, Pramila Mallik, and Debi Prasad Mishra.
The BJD plans to form a new team with experienced leaders within the next 10-12 days. This restructuring process is expected to be completed before the upcoming budget session, which begins on July 22 and concludes on September 13.
Naveen Patnaik will assign specific responsibilities to party members for growth at both the grassroots and organizational levels. Young and dynamic leaders, who contributed to the party in previous elections, will find a place in the new organization.
After the state-level changes, the BJD will restructure its district-level organization. Additionally, the student and youth wings of the party will also be revamped, with potential youth leaders being promoted to state-level positions.
