Bhubaneswar: Hours after quitting the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), former Brajrajnagar MLA Radharani Panda joined the Biju Janata Dal (BJD) ahead of the second phase election in Odisha
The ex-legislator joined BJD in the presence of party’s organisational secretary Pranab Prakash Das.
Panda represented Brajrajnagar in the state Assembly from 2014 to 2019. However, she was denied BJP ticket for the ongoing twin elections in the state.
Earlier in the day, she had resigned from the saffron party expressing her resentment over the functioning of the party. She had sent her resignation letter to BJP’s State president Manmohan Samal.
