Ex-Chairperson of OSCPCR Sandhyabati Pradhan Quits BJD

Bhubaneswar: The former chairperson of the Odisha State Commission for Protection of Child Rights (OSCPCR) Sandhyabati Pradhan resigned from the BJD on Monday.

She sent her resignation letter to BJD supremo Naveen Patnaik. In her resignation letter, she said, “I am veritably pained to tender my resignation from the primary membership of Biju Janata Dal as I strongly feel our voices do not reach your good self since you are surrounded by a coterie with a vested personal interest. Your door seems to be closed to listen to our grievances, suggestions and advice. I did my assigned duties assiduously towards vibrant empowerment of women and in the field of protection of rights of children.”

“As I am disillusioned with the present state of affairs in Biju Janata Dal, I regretfully have taken this decision to leave the Biju Janata Dal and hence, tender my resignation from the primary membership of this political party,” she added.
