Two Odisha BJD Leaders Suspended
Odisha's BJD has suspended former Bhadrak MP Manjulata Mandal and her husband, ex-Dhamnagar MLA Muktikanta Mandal, for alleged anti-party activities. Manjulata was elected to Lok Sabha in 2019, while Muktikanta won the assembly seat in 2014. Muktikanta expressed surprise, suggesting the suspension may have been triggered by misleading reports, the party said.
