Bhubaneswar, April 1: Senior BJD leader and former Chairperson of Odisha State Commission for Protection of Child Rights (OSCPCR) Sandhyabati Pradhan quit Biju Janata Dal(BJD) on Monday.
It was revealed after she tendered her resignation from the primary membership of the BJD to the Party Supremo and CM Naveen Patnaik out of discontent.
In her resignation letter Pradhan cited, “I am veritably pained to tender my resignation from the primary membership of Biju Janata Dal as I strongly feel our voices do not reach your goodself since you are surrounded by a coterie with a vested personal interest. Your door seems to be closed to listen to our grievances, suggestions and advice.”
"Whatever onerous duties were given to me, I was discharged with utmost sincerity. Under your instructions and guidance I did my best to fetch women empowerment and child protection matters to a standardized level,” the resignation letter added.
