Bhubaneswar:7/5/17; Hours after the new ministers were allotted various portfolios, BJD activists from Sundergarh revolted against the party and threatened mass resignation due to non-representation of their district in the fresh Cabinet reshuffle.“Non-representation will weaken the party base as well as welfare activities in the district. We are extremely disappointed as no MLA from the western Odisha district found place in the Cabinet. So, we are planning to resign en masse from the party”, Lalatendu Parida, BJD’s Sundergarh district secretary (organisation) said. Party veteran and former minister Mangala Kishan, who also belongs to Sundergarh district, echoed similar voice that non-representation would affect the development of the district.
