Day after quitting BJP, Duryodhan Majhi joins BJD

Bhubaneswar: A day after quitting the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), sitting MLA from Khariar and former Minister Duryodhan Majhi today joined the Biju Janata Dal (BJD).

The tribal leader joined the BJD in presence of party supremo Naveen Patnaik.

The five-time MLA ended his stint with the BJP after the party fielded wife of former BJP MLA Hitesh Bagarti, Rita, for Khariar assembly seat.

It may be mentioned here that Duryodhan Mahi had quit BJD in 2014 after he was denied a ticket.
