Speculations are rife in Odisha politics that Sujata R. Karthikeyan, former IAS officer and wife of V.K. Pandian, may soon join the Biju Janata Dal (BJD). After her voluntary retirement, senior leaders like Manmath Routray and Subhash Singh have supported this move, citing her vast administrative experience and potential to strengthen the women's vote bank. However, senior members like Bhupinder Singh and Munna Khan have expressed dissatisfaction, warning of potential internal conflicts within the party upon the entry of new faces. https://odishasambad.in/vk-pandians-wife-sujata-karthikeyans-possible-bjd-entry-sparks-political-buzz/ #creator program
