No Question Of Quitting Congress: Naba Das

Jharsuguda: Putting all speculation to rest, senior Congress leader and sitting MLA of Jharsuguda Naba Das on Friday made it clear that there was no question of him leaving the party.

“There are reports in the media about my joining the Biju Janata Dal (BJD). Let me tell you that I have been involved in the Congress since my student days. In recognition of my responsibility and commitment, the Congress high command has appointed me as the working president of the Odisha Pradesh Congress Committee (OPCC) and I am discharging my job with utmost sincerity. Since the party has reposed trust and faith on my integrity, there is no question of leaving the party,” Das told mediapersons here.

The close proximity between Jharsuguda MLA Naba Das and the BJD, especially party president and Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik, had put the Congress leadership in tenterhooks after Das had showered praises on the Chief Minister during the inauguration of Sambalpur-Rourkela Biju Expressway at Jharsuguda on March 12 this year.

During the inauguration of Veer Surendra Sai Airport at Jharsuguda on September 22, Das and his family members had a photo session with the Chief Minister at the airport lounge, which then went viral.
