“I have been with the BJP since last two decades and will continue to work for the larger interest of the party,” Sahu said. “As a disciplined party worker, I will discharge whatever responsibilities my party leaders entrust upon me,” he said.
Sahu’s statement came after a high level meeting with Dharmendra Pradhan held in the state capital last night in the presence of other senior leaders, including State unit President Basant Panda and Jayanarayan Mishra.
Speaking to media persons, Pradhan said, “Our party is a democratic party and everybody has a right to express his or her view for the benefit of the party”. “There were some disagreements, but they are all resolved now,” he added.
Sahu had offered to resign from his post on Tuesday protesting against joining of BJD leader Ashok Panigrahi in the saffron party. Extending support to Sahu, several Mandal Presidents and local BJP workers had also threatened to leave the party.
Sahu also boycotted the programme where Panigrahi joined the saffron party triggering speculation about dissidents leaving the party.
