Bhubaneswar: Senior BJP leader Samir Mohanty has been named new president of the State unit of the saffron party. A formal announcement in this regard was made after scrutiny of his nomination papers today.
Mohanty, who was vice-president of the State BJP unit, was the sole candidate to file nomination for the top post. He got unanimous support from the district presidents and the State party council members for his promotion to the post.

Of the several challenges ahead, Mohanty will have to ensure ‘no dissent’ in the party. He will also have to chalk out strategies and lead the party from the front in the upcoming civic body polls.
Besides, strengthening the party at the grassroots level and ensuring a tough stance as the main Opposition against the ruling-BJD in the State are likely to be in Mohanty's focus.
