Bhubaneswar: Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan has reportedly accepted the resignation letter of suspended BJD MP Baijayant Panda from Kendrapara.
According to sources, the Speaker is all set to formally announce it Wednesday in the Lok Sabha as the Parliament Monsoon Session is on.
BJD Lok Sabha Leader Bhartruhari Mahtab had also formally written to the Lok Sabha Speaker to accept Panda’s resignation.
After BJD President and Odisha CM Naveen Patnaik suspended Panda from the party for anti-party activities January 24, 2018, he had resigned from the state ruling party May 28 and tendered his resignation to Mahajan months ago.
