The five senior leaders are BJP National General Secretary Anil Jain, Union HRD Minister Prakash Javadekar, Union Petroleum Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, Union Tribal Affair Minister Jual Oram and the party's Odisha in-charge Arun Singh.

"I have been given responsibility of four Lok Sabha constituencies in Odisha. They are Sambalpur, Balangir, Bargarh, and Kalahandi," Anil Jain told reporters after the meeting.
Javadekar has been given the charge of Bhubaneswar, Puri, Berhampur, and Nabarangpur Lok Sabha constituencies.
