Balangir: In another jolt to the Congress, several senior leaders from Balangir, including OPCC general secretary Laxman Meher, former district president Bhagwan Bagarti and the party’s Deogaon block chairman Reena Meher, on Wednesday quit the party citing discontent with decisions taken by Leader of the Opposition Narasingha Mishra.
Those who resigned include former chairperson of Balangir municipality Pradeep Sahu, former district Congress legal cell chairman Prabin Mishra, former vice-president of DCC Balangir, Radhakanta Nayak, Janmaye Sahu, Mahendra Jal and Pradyumna Kumar Mishra.
They have alleged that Mishra has failed in his responsibility as an Opposition leader and used to torture other party workers, sources said.
