Amid growing differences within the Biju Janata Dal (BJD) over the party's stand on the Waqf Amendment Bill in the Rajya Sabha, BJD leader Atanu Sabyasachi Nayak said that there is no infighting at all and MPs, MLAs and workers are united.
Sujeet Kumar further questioned BJD's approach towards the Waqf (Amendment) Act and stated that they are 'confused'. He said that one MP, Sasmit Patra, supported the bill, whereas Muzibulla Khan opposed it. Kumar added that one BJD MP was absent during voting on the Waqf Amendment Bill.
Biju Janata Dal (BJD) MP Muzibulla Khan expressed confidence on Sunday that the party will win more seats in the Lok Sabha and assembly elections in Odisha than in the previous polls.
After BJD leaders Bhatruhari Mahtab and Sidhant Mohapatra joined the BJP, Biju Janata Dal leader Muzibulla Khan on Thursday called them a "big zero" and said that the leaving of the two leaders wouldn't impact the BJD.
