Bhubaneswar: The BJP on Monday claimed that the name of 5T chairman VK Pandian has been removed from the list of officials in chief minister’s office (CMO) following complaint from the party.
In a press release, spokesman of BJP’s Odisha unit Anil Biswal said on April 4, his party had raised objection to Pandian continuing to hold government office after actively participating in politics. The party had also filed a complaint in the cVIGIL app in this regard.
“Taking cognisance of the objection, the Election Commission has declared continuity of Pandian in the government post as illegal since it violated the model code of conduct in force for the ensuing elections in the state. Pandian’s name has finally been removed from the CMO officials’ list on the order of the Commission,” Biswal said.
The BJD has not issued any reaction or comment on Biswal’s claim.
