Bhubaneswar, Agust 5: Mamata Mohanta’s defection from the Biju Janata Dal (BJD) to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has created a flutter in the political circle of Odisha. Her abrupt exit has sparked political turmoil in the state.
BJD leaders have expressed concern over the defection, with some calling it a conspiracy to weaken the party.
Aparajita Sarangi, BJP MP from Bhubaneswar, referred to Mamata’s move as a “trailer,” suggesting that more defections might follow in the future.
Arabinda Dhali, another senior BJP leader, also predicted that the BJD’s “nest will soon become empty” due to internal resentment.
BJP believes that the BJD’s weakened position and internal issues have led to such defections.
The BJP, being a national party, aims to capitalize on this situation.
Mamata’s departure has raised questions about the BJD’s unity and stability.
Some senior BJD leaders are calling for self-introspection and corrective measures to strengthen the party organization.
