In view of the circulation of the objectionable photograph of Nabarangpur Congress MP Pradeep Majhi, the ruling BJD has sought his resignation over the issue.
Speaking to the media here, Sports and Youth Service Minister Ramesh Chandra Majhi, who is also the BJD district president, said, “On July 9, we will organise a rally to demand removal of the MP and submit a memorandum to the President of India through all the BDOs at the block level in the district,” he said
Such a photograph of the MP carried in the media is a disgrace for the district, he stated. Among others, Nabarangpur MlA Monohar Randhari, Umarkote MlA Subash Gond, ZP president Motiram Nayak, municipality chairman Prahalad Tripathy and BJD district general secretary Asish Ranjan Patnaik were present at the Press conference.
