BJD suspends 2 MLAs, cites anti-party activities
The BJD has suspended two MLAs, Sanatan Mahakud and Arvind Mohapatra, for alleged anti-party activities. Mahakud publicly questioned the party's development contributions to his district, while Mohapatra's father met with a former MLA amid speculation of a new regional party formation. The BJD cited internal feedback on indiscipline as the reason for the action.
