Bureau, Odishabarta, Berhampur (21-02-2024): Odisha’s ruling Biju Janata Dal (BJD) on Sunday expelled former Minister and Gopalpur MLA Pradeep Kumar Panigrahi from the party with immediate effect for his ‘anti-people activities’.
“Party President Shri Naveen Patnaik has expelled Pradeep Kumar Panigrahi, (MLA, Gopalpur) from the party with immediate effect for his anti-people activities,” BJD tweeted.
Panigrahi was on a spot for his alleged link with arrested Indian Forest Service (IFS) officer, Abhay Kant Pathak.
Notably, the Odisha Vigilance on Friday arrested senior IFS officer Abhay Kant Pathak and his son Akash Pathak on the charges of amassing assets worth crores disproportionate to their known sources of income.
