The Biju Janata Dal (BJD) has officially suspended party member and former Nimapada Assembly constituency candidate, Dillip Kumar Nayak, with immediate effect.
According to an official order issued by the party headquarters at Sankha Bhawan on November 14, 2026, and signed by BJD General Secretary Bijaya Nayak on behalf of the Party President, the action was taken due to Nayak’s direct involvement in fraudulent practices, which constitute a severe breach of discipline and anti-party activity.
Dillip Kumar Nayak had previously contested the high-stakes Odisha Legislative Assembly elections from the Nimapada constituency under the BJD banner. The sudden suspension marks a notable development within regional politics in Puri district, signalling the party leadership’s zero-tolerance policy toward internal indiscipline and unauthorised activities.
Copies of the suspension order have been dispatched to the concerned individual, the Political Secretary to the Hon’ble BJD President, and the District President of Puri for immediate implementation and record.
