BJD MLA Goutambuddha Das attributed the party's election defeat to 'overconfidence' and stated that voters did not support Naveen Patnaik as expected. He also raised concerns over 22 lakh beneficiaries not receiving social security pensions for three months. In protest and solidarity with the elderly and disabled, Das wrote to CM Mohan Charan Majhi, declaring he will not accept his MLA salary until the pending pensions are disbursed. https://www.dharitri.com/party-mla-gautam-buddh-das-reveals-the-secret-of-bjds-defeat/ #creator program
