Bhubaneswar: The Biju Janata Dal (BJD) on Monday announced that it has revoked the expulsion of Damodar Rout, a former Minister and senior leader of the party.
The party supremo, Naveen Patnaik, issued a one-line order stating that the expulsion order has been revoked with immediate effect.
Damodar Rout, a seven-time MLA, was expelled from the party in September 2018. He was earlier sacked from the Council of Ministers in 2017 for making a casteist remark against the Brahmin community at a function in Malkangiri and was also removed from the position of party vice-president.
