Bharatiya Janata Party MP and Lok Sabha candidate from Cuttack, Bhartruhari Mahtab, highlighted the three issues of Odisha on Saturday and asserted that there is very little development in comparison to other states where there is a BJP government.
Former Biju Janata Dal (BJD) MP Bhartruhari Mahtab, who announced his resignation from the primary membership of the party earlier this week, will join the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Thursday, sources said.
In a major setback to the ruling party in Odisha ahead of the Lok Sabha and Assembly elections, Mahtab announced his resignation from the primary membership of the party on Friday.
Mahtab, who has represented the Cuttack Lok Sabha constituency for six consecutive terms, stated, "I have sent my resignation letter to BJD president and Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik at 4 pm today."
