India, May 5 -- Biju Janata Dal (BJD) president Naveen Patnaik today appointed new state-level office-bearers for the regional party.

Patnaik, a five-time former Chief Minister, has appointed a new team of 71 office-bearers for BJD.

The BJD supremo has appointed seven senior vice presidents, eight vice presidents, 20 senior general secretaries, 31 general secretaries and one treasurer in his new team.

Patnaik had dissolved all organisational committees of the party soon after its defeat in the 2024 Assembly and Lok Sabha polls in Odisha. He has appointed the new office-bearers for BJD in an attempt to rebuild the main Opposition party in the state.
