BJD Suspends Prafulla Mallik for Anti-Party Activities

A senior member of Odisha's Biju Janata Dal (BJD) party, Prafulla Kumar Mallik, has been suspended for going against party interests.

The party acted after Mallik said he might leave the BJD.

Mallik, who was once a close ally of the party president, denies the accusations and says he quit the party for personal reasons.

He was a former minister and MLA.

The BJD stated that his actions showed a lack of loyalty.

Other leaders have also recently left the BJD.
