Former BJD MP Sujeet Kumar resigns, joins BJP, reducing BJD's Rajya Sabha representation.

Sujeet Kumar, a former Rajya Sabha MP from Odisha's Biju Janata Dal (BJD), resigned and was expelled for "anti-party activities." He subsequently joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), citing corruption in his district of Kalahandi and being sidelined within the BJD as reasons for his departure. This move reduces the BJD's representation in the Rajya Sabha from nine to seven members, following another recent resignation from the party.
