Bhubaneswar: Ahead of the general elections, BJP leader Bhrugu Baxipatra today resigned from the party. He sent a resignation letter in this regard to Manmohan Samal, BJP State President.
Baxipatra mentioned in the letter that the party does not require him, for which he decided to tender resignation.
“With a heavy heart, I am tendering my resignation from the primary membership of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). As a member for 23 years, I have put my best efforts for the growth of the party in the state. I have executed every single responsibility that I was assigned, with utter sincerity and diligence. I am grateful to the party for using my services to strengthen its organizational and political base in the state,” he wrote in the letter.
“However, lately, I have realized that the party does not require me or my contribution anymore. Therefore, I have decided to move on. I will continue to serve the people of Odisha and work towards the development of our state. I request you to kindly accept my resignation,” he added.
Baxipatra is likely to join the BJD after quitting the saffron party.
