Rajya Sabha MP and former JPCC President Pradip Kumar Balmuchu and Kunal Sarangi, JMM MLA from Baharagora were not invited in the programme and this exhibits the 'conservative mindset' of the ruling party towards opposition, AICC spokesman Dr Ajoy Kumar said.
The state government has devalued the prevailing democratic system by ignoring the elected representative from the same district as well as Congress MP, Kumar said in a press statement here.
