Bhubaneswar, Jan. 6: Newly-appointed All India Congress Committee (AICC) Odisha in-charge Dr Ajoy Kumar on Saturday launched a no-holds-barred attack on the state’s ruling Biju Janata Dal (BJD) saying this party is now controlled by a non-Odia person.

He called upon the party workers to ensure that the non-Odia persons who are controlling the state politics are politically chased away and the local people ran their own government.

“Odisha is of Odias, by the Odias and for the Odias. However, some non-Odia people are now controlling state politics, jobs and the mining sector. Let’s fight these people away to restore the Odia pride,” said Dr Kumar while addressing the party workers and leaders at the Congress Bhawan here.

This is the maiden visit of Dr Kumar to Odisha after he was appointed as the AICC in-charge for the state.

Soon after he arrived at the Biju Patnaik International Airport here, the veteran Congress leader was taken to the Congress Bhawan in a bike rally where he was extended a grand welcome by the party’s senior leaders.
