After Quitting BJD, Ex-MLA Priyadarshi Mishra Joins BJP
Bhubaneswar: Just a few hours after resigning from the Biju Janata Dal (BJD), former Bhubaneswar North MLA Priyadarshi Mishra joined the BJP in Odisha.
He was officially included in the BJP at the party headquarters in Bhubaneswar in the presence of Odisha BJP President Manmohan Samal and Bhubaneswar MP Aparajita Sarangi. Earlier in the morning, he sent his resignation letter to the BJD supremo Naveen Patnaik citing ‘continuous neglect’ in the party as the reason behind his decision to quit the regional party.
Priyadarshi is the son-in-law of former Bhubaneswar MP Prasanna Patasani.
