Balasore: Close on the heels of Nabarangpur MP Balabhadra Majhi’s resignation from the ruling Biju Janata Dal (BJD) yesterday, Nilagiri MLA Sukanta Nayak today quit the conch party alleging a brewing conspiracy against him and neglect.
Nayak, who submitted his resignation to party supremo Naveen Patnaik today claimed of being neglected by party leaders and suffering mental torture in the hands of Balasore district BJD president.
