AICC Odisha in-charge Ajoy Kumar launched the portal ‘pragaman.in’ at Congress Bhavan here in the presence of former State party president Prasad Harichandan and other senior leaders.

Speaking to reporters, Kumar said," Congress has launched the portal to encourage good people, who want to work for the society, to join politics. Only deserving candidates will get party tickets for the next elections.” 

“There will be no discrimination in the distribution of tickets through the portal. It does not matter whether you have money or not, whether you are a man or woman or belong to which caste and religion… everyone will be treated equally. A transparent system has been adopted for this purpose,” he added.
