Former Biju Janata Dal (BJD) Rajya Sabha MP Debashish Samantaray joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Tuesday, just a day after resigning from both the Upper House of Parliament and the regional party led by Naveen Patnaik.
Debashish Samantaray on Monday resigned from the Biju Janata Dal and also stepped down as a member of the Rajya Sabha, ahead of his expected induction into the Bharatiya Janata Party.
