BJD Warns Action Against Leaders Defying Naveen’s Diktat

BHUBANESWAR: Internal feud within ruling BJD over the alleged involvement of Minister Sanjay Dasburma is showing no abatement as party leaders continued to defy the diktat of BJD supremo and chief minister Naveen Patnaik.

Even as BJD spokesperson Samir Dash on Saturday warned that action would be taken against the leaders and Ministers who will not obey chief minister’s directive and give a negative statement to media, BJD vice-president and excise minister Damodar Rout said there was no scope for the party to take action against him.

He said action should be taken against those persons who are making such statements.

Earlier on Saturday, Samir Dash said action would be taken against the leaders defying chief minister’s directive.
