Raju Patra, district secretary of the party’s adivasi morcha said: “We’re forced to resign as the newcomers from the CPM were getting priority in the party. The district party president started preferring the newcomers, which became humiliating and unbearable for us. So we resigned.

District president of BJP, Abhijit Ta said: “Some people are failing to adjust with some positive changes and new arrangements in the party now. We’re hopeful that they will try to understand the present necessities at this hour and cooperate with the party.”
