Bhubaneswar: Actor-turned-politician and former Odisha MLA Akash Das Nayak resigned from the ruling Biju Janata Dal (BJD) ahead of the twin elections.
In a video statement, the former Korei MLA announced his resignation from the primary membership of BJD. “After listening to my inner voice, for self-respect and the respect of Korei residents, I have decided to quit BJD,” he said.
The ex-MLA further stated that he would decide his next course of action after holding discussion with the people of Korei and his supporters.
His announcement came shortly after another former MLA Priyadarshi Mishra resigned from the primary membership of the BJD.
Stating that he continued to work for BJD for the last 5 years even after being denied a ticket in 2019 elections without any reason, Akash said he will decide his move after discussion with people of Korei and supporters.
