On Saturday, Odisha Pradesh Congress Committee (OPCC) president Niranjan Patnaik took a swipe at Jena by calling him an expert storyteller.
Earlier, Congress whip Taraprasad Bahinipati had called him a ‘conspirator’ in the party. “The Congress is getting united under the leadership of Niranjan, but Jena has become a bone of contention which is detrimental to the party,” he had said.
Jena had reportedly encouraged former Koraput legislator Krushna Chandra Sagaria to rebel against party leadership. Later, he stepped down as the MLA.
