Senior BJD leader and Rajya Sabha MP Debashish Samantaray has resigned from the Biju Janata Dal. In his resignation letter to Naveen Patnaik, he cited continuous neglect and humiliation within the party as the primary reasons for his departure. Following in the footsteps of Sujeet Kumar and Mamata Mohanta, Samantaray's exit further reduces BJD's strength in the Rajya Sabha to five members. Rumors are afloat that he might join the BJP, which could significantly impact the political landscape in Cuttack, Tirtol, and Paradip districts. https://zeenews.india.com/hindi/zeeodisha/state-news/mp-debashish-samantaray-resign-from-biju-janata-dal-may-join-bjp/3228307 #creator program
