Bhubaneswar, August 13: BJP national president JP Nadda will inaugurate a two-day orientation-cum-training programme on August 18 to be conducted for training party’s newly elected MLAs to 17th Odisha Legislative Assembly.
The programme will be held on the Assembly premises in the presence of speaker Surama Padhi and Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi. A group of senior leaders of the party including a few Union Ministers will guide the newly-elected legislators.
“As 57 out of 78 elected members of the party in the Assembly are first-time MLAs, they are not familiar with the intricacies of the parliamentary law, practices and procedures. The orientation programme is aimed to make them understand the constitutional role of the lawmakers and make them familiar with operational mechanisms, parliamentary traditions, conventions and etiquette, said a senior BJP leader.
The orientation-cum-training programme will also educate the MLAs on ways to conduct themselves as members of ruling party both inside the Assembly business.
Some veteran parliamentarians of the party are scheduled to share their experience with the first-time members of Odisha Assembly.
