Bhubaneswar: Lok Sabha MP Jay Panda parted ways with the Biju Janata Dal (BJD) on Monday after months of strained ties with party president and Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik.

Panda, who was suspended from the BJD in January for “weakening” the party, wrote an emotional letter to Patnaik, in which he said it was “irrefutable clear that the party wants me out”.

“It is with deep anguish, hurt and sorrow that I have decided to quit the kind of politics into which our BJD has descended,” Panda said.
