On Sunday Nimapara MLA joined BJP at a special function held at Bhubaneswar. Dash was reportedly upset after he was not given ticket by BJD to contest the 2024 elections from his constituency.
Prior to his joining BJP, Dash said that, ‘When the leaders do not trust you, it was not possible for me to stay and work in BJD. As I have joined the BJP now, I can confidently say that the saffron party will win with a huge margin in Nimapara’.
‘I have been working dedicatedly and will continue to serve people. Not only Nimapara, some parts of Jagatsinghpur district will also be affected by my decision. The candidates of BJP will certainly win with good margin including Prabhati Parida’, said Dash.
Meanwhile, earlier Bollywood actor Shekhar Suman joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Delhi. Former Congress leader Radhika Khera also joined the saffron party.
Radhika Khera, who was an All India Congress Committee (AICC) spokesperson, resigned from the Congress, alleging a conspiracy against her. After quitting the party, she alleged that party leaders from the Chhattisgarh Congress harassed her, locked her in a room and assaulted her.
