Bhubaneswar: Sambalpur MLA and senior BJP leader Jayanarayan Mishra was today announced as the new Leader of the Opposition in the Odisha Assembly.
This was informed by the BJP’s Odisha co-in-charge Vijay Pal Singh Tomar at a presser here today.
Earlier, in an important meeting of the saffron party’s legislators, Mishra was unanimously chosen as the Leader of the Opposition in the State Assembly.
Because of the prolonged illness of Pradipta Naik, Mishra has been vested with the responsibility of the Leader of the Opposition in his place.
“The party has trusted me and vested the responsibility on me. I will truthfully discharge my responsibility. As the Leader of the Opposition I will raise the voice of Odisha in the Assembly,” said Mishra in his reactions after being announced as the Leader of Opposition.
