Three Block Chairpersons Resign in Bhadrak, Major Setback for BJD
Bhadrak district witnessed a dramatic political upheaval as three block chairpersons of the Biju Janata Dal (BJD) resigned on the same day, sending shockwaves through Odisha’s political circles.
Manoranjan Ghadei (Banta Block), Urmila Nayak (Bhadrak Block), and Sumati Sethi (Bhandaripokhari Block) tendered their resignations from the party’s primary membership, citing personal reasons.
While the official letters emphasised personal grounds, political observers believe the coordinated exit reflects deeper discontent within the party.
The sequence began with Ghadei’s resignation, quickly followed by Nayak and Sethi, creating a chain reaction that unsettled the ruling party’s grassroots leadership.
The sudden departure of three influential leaders has intensified speculation that they may align with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), though no formal announcement has been made.
Local communities and political stakeholders are closely monitoring the developments, as the mass resignation could significantly reshape Bhadrak’s political landscape in the months ahead.
