The BJP changed its state leadership and appointed senior leader and former minister Samal as the party’s Odisha unit president in March this year for playing a key role in ensuring the party’s victory in the high-octane Dhamnagar byelection. Known for his organisational leadership, he had served as party president twice earlier in 1998 and 2000.
