Naveen Reconstitutes Party Organization
The Statesman Bhubaneswar
|May 06, 2025
Biju Janata Dal (BJD) president Naveen Patnaik has constituted the party's Political Affairs Committee (PAC), predominantly comprising of 'loyalists' who remained silent even during the turmoil that had taken place after the 2024 electoral debacle.
The move has sidelined several senior leaders and founding members, who have been assigned relatively inconsequential roles as conveners of various frontal wings of the party.
This development comes in the wake of the BJD's setback in the 2024 elections, after which Patnaik dissolved all office-bearer posts. He was re-elected as party president on 19 April.
The party has seen internal unrest, with senior leaders openly voicing concerns over what they claim was the excessive influence of two individuals, widely believed to have contributed to the party's electoral defeat. They argued that the BJP was able to exploit sentiments around 'Odia Asmita' (Odia identity), portraying it as being under threat.
