--Bhupinder had longstanding
relation with CM: Srikant
BHUBANESWAR:
“Congress is run by a coterie,” said former Pradesh Congress Committee
president Niranjan Patnaik here on Sunday while keeping his view on his party’s
recent developments including joining of party’s senior leaders Bhupinder Singh
and Anup Sai in the BJD.
The Congress leader admitted
Bhupinder Singh’s allegation that senior members are being neglected in the
party. “It is very unfortunate that our party told leader of the Opposition to
step down just a month before the General Election.”
Patnaik said, “It is the duty of
the Congress high command and State leaders to strengthen the party by looking
into the matter in a sensitive way,” said Patnaik, adding, “If the leaders do
not take all the workers in an organised manner, our party may pay heavy price
for it.”
Expressing grave concern over the
party’s leadership, Patnaik said the persons-in-charge of the party should take
appropriate decisions so that the party can fight well in the ensuing
elections.
Meanwhile, party’s State campaign
committee Chief Srikant Jena said that Bhupinder had longstanding relations
with the BJD president Naveen Patnaik before resigning from Congress party. “Now
people of the State saw the real face of Bhupinder who joined BJD,” said Jena.
