Bhubaneswar: Hours after quitting the Biju Janata Dal (BJD), former Bhubaneswar (North) MLA Priyadarshi Mishra joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) today.
Priyadarshi Mishra joined the saffron fold in the presence of Odisha BJP president Manmohan Samal, party’s in-charge for Odisha Vijay Pal Singh Tomar, Bhubaneswar MP Aparajita Sarangi and other party leaders during an induction event held at the State headquarter office here today.
Priyadarshi Mishra, who was MLA between 2014 and 2019, resigned from the primary membership of BJD and sent his resignation letter to the party president. “I started my political career from my student days with late Biju Patnaik, the legendary political figure of the State. I have given sincere service to the people & the party for more than three decades,” he wrote in the letter.
“Due to continuous neglect in party, I am resigning from the primary membership of the party,” he added.
