The Odisha Pradesh Congress Committee(1921-2024) was the unit of the Indian National Congress for the state of Odisha. It is responsible for organizing and coordinating the party's activities and campaigns within the state, as well as selecting candidates for local, state, and national elections in Odisha.
The head office of the organization is the Congress Bhawan, situated at Master Canteen circle in Bhubaneswar. Sarat Pattanayak was appointed president of the committee in 2022 and currently serves as the Odisha Pradesh Congress Committee(OPCC) President.[1][2][3][4] On July 21, 2024, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge dissolved the current Odisha Pradesh Congress Committee, days after the party's poor showing in the Lok Sabha and assembly polls in the state.[citation needed] The new PCC president and members will be appointed soon by the AICC.
