“Since my student days I have been a follower of Biju Patnaik and during the days of the Utkal Congress I was the general secretary of the student wing. Now I have got this opportunity and motivated by the ideology of Naveen, I have joined the party. My main objective is to see holistic development of my Mayurbhanj district,” said Uttam Mohanty.
“During the time of Biju Patnaik, I was an activist of the Utkal Congress party and impressed with my work, Biju Babu gave me a job at Paradip port. Since that day I have been indebted to him. I really like the kind of work CM Naveen Patnaik is doing which is why I have joined him,” said Asit Pati.
