Other prominent leaders of the party Debasish Samantaray, Sushant Behera, Braja Kishore Pradhan and Sarada Nayak have been made advisors, T V Patnaik has been appointed as treasurer of Biju Shramik

The objective behind formation of the trade union wing is to ensure development of labourers and workers in Odisha, a senior party leader said.

In March, it constituted a Dalit cell to look after the needs of people belonging to scheduled castes in the state.
