Bhubaneswar,Feb 27: Former BJD MLA Prabhat Biswal was expelled from the Biju Janata Dal on Saturday, for his alleged anti-party activities.

BJD President Naveen Patnaik issued order in this connection this evening.

A letter issued by the BJD office read, “Prabhat Biswal, State Council Member of the party is hereby expelled from the party with immediate effect for his indiscipline and anti-party activities.”

According to report, BJD Supreme Naveen Patnaik took the drastic step on the former MLA Biswal reportedly for his arrogance at the Naveen Niwas during a crucial meeting.

Reacting to the Naveen’s decision on nominating Santrupt Mishra for the Rajya Sabha election, former Choudwar-Cuttack MLA Biswal raised voice against the party's resolve and questioned of Mishra’s potential.

Following this,Biswal was shown the door from the regional party.

Worth mentioning, two sitting MLAs were dismissed from the BJD by Naveen Patnaik a couple of weeks ago, over the same allegations.
