Bhubaneswar: Former MP Rabi Narayan Pani on Friday resigned from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
In his resignation letter to BJP to BJP State President Manmohan Samal, Pani wrote: “Of late, I have understood that there is no place of ethics and principle in the present day of politics. Any Tom Dick and Harry is being given all sorts of power and responsibility by you people by overlooking senior and sincere people like us who are forced to sit idle like silent spectators. Hence, I prefer to resign from the primary membership of the party with immediate effect.”
Notably, Pani had successfully contested the Assembly Elections in 2009 from Pallahara constituency on a BJD ticket. He had quit the BJD in 2019 and joined the saffron party.
