Senior BJD leader and Rajya Sabha MP Debashish Samantaray has resigned from the party, alleging neglect and humiliation by the leadership. He has sent his resignation letter to BJD President Naveen Patnaik. Following his exit, BJD's strength in the Rajya Sabha has dropped to five. Speculations are rife that he might join the BJP, especially as Odisha CM Mohan Charan Majhi is currently on a visit to New Delhi. Internal dissatisfaction regarding the influence of V.K. Pandian and the appointment of Manas Mangaraj as parliamentary party leader are cited as key reasons. https://odishasambad.in/third-bjd-rajya-sabha-mp-debashish-samantaray-resigns-but-why/ #creator program
