Congress launched membership drive in Odisha

Bhubaneswar: The Congress party has launched a nationwide membership drive. Today it started in Odisha. A state-level large-scale program has been organized at the PCC office and the drive has begun. A large number of young men and women have joined the Congress. The campaign will continue until March 31.

State in-charge A. Chellakumar and PCC president Niranjan Patnaik said both the Modi and the state governments had deceived the people. To answer that, we need to strengthen the Congress. That's why everyone should join the campaign and become a member of Congress. Only the Congress can govern the country and the state and bring justice to the peasants, the workers and the youth.

Sarat Patnaik, Jaydev Jena, PCC executive president Chiranjeevi Biswal, Ramchandra Khuntia, Santosh Singh Saluja, Sarat Raut, A. Raju, MP Saptagiri Ulaka, Cuttack district Congress president Manas Chowdhury, student Congress president Yasir Nawaz Sivananda Roy, Bhubaneswar district president Biswajit Das's party senior leaders and legislators were present.

Guidelines have also been issued by the party regarding membership recruitment, with a fee of Rs 5 to be a member of the Congress for five years. For this, a registration will be registered in the block. A copy of it will then be provided to the District Congress Committee. Those who become members of the Congress by March 2022 will have the opportunity to vote in the Congressional election.

Similarly, those who have been members of the party for at least 3 years will have the opportunity to run in the party official election. "Leaders who want to be party officials have to deposit Rs 100," Benugopala said in his letter. Members will be registered both online and offline. A general secretary will be appointed by the PCC to recruit members.
