As speculated earlier, former Indian Youth Congress Secretary, 2014 MLA Candidate from Baripada and Ex Assistant Professor Ravenshaw University, Dr. Priyabrata Majhi joined the BJP in the presence of Union P&NG Minister Dharmendra Pradhan yesterday.
Dr. Majhi, a JNU Product, has been a close friend of Rahul Gandhi since his student days. (Source: Sambad).
BJP got a major shot in arm in Mayurbhanj by inducting young, talented leader Chhabi Mahali first and then Dr. Majhi. The move is aimed to checkmate Odisha Minister Sudam Marandi.
