The Congress leadership is holding meetings to appoint a new State unit chief in Uttar Pradesh even as it announced a new chief for Odisha on Monday.
Accepting the resignation of the incumbent Odisha Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) chief, a statement from party general secretary K.C. Venugopal read: “Congress president has appointed Sarat Pattanayak as the president of the Odisha Pradesh Congress Committee with immediate effect.”
Mr. Pattanayak’s appointment comes as part of the revamp plans for the State unit ahead of the June 2024 Assembly election.
