Sujeet Kumar, a Rajya Sabha member from Odisha, has resigned from the Biju Janata Dal (BJD) and joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), marking a significant shift in the state's political landscape. His resignation follows his expulsion from the BJD for alleged 'anti-party activities', with party president Naveen Patnaik claiming he let down the hopes of the Kalahandi district constituents. Kumar's departure is the second such instance in a short span, after Mamata Mohanta also left the BJD to join the BJP, subsequently being re-elected to the Rajya Sabha. During his resignation announcement, Kumar cited rampant corruption within the BJD's local leadership as a primary reason for his decision. The BJP is expected to benefit from Kumar's resignation, as it is likely to secure his vacant seat in the Rajya Sabha due to its strength in the Odisha Assembly. Kumar expressed his commitment to working for the development of the KBK region and aligning with the BJP's national vision.
