TNI Bureau: The Biju Janata Dal (BJD) President and Odisha CM Naveen Patnaik has appointed Rajya Sabha MP Manas Mangaraj as the Observer for Berhampur Parliamentary Constituency.

Berhampur Lok Sabha seat remains very crucial for the BJD due to growing factionalism within the party after Pradeep Panigrahi’s departure and due to illness of Surjya Narayan Patro. Manas Mangaraj, one of the trusted men of CMO, may play a key role in strengthening the organisation.

I express gratitude to BJD President and HCM Shri @Naveen_Odisha and our party’s Organisational Secretary Shri @pranabpdas for reposing trust in me and appointing me as the Observer of Berhampur Parliamentary Constituency which includes Ganjam and Gajapati districts.
