BJD heavyweight Pranab Prakash "Bobby" Das broke his silence today, launching a blistering attack on former MLA Parvat Biswal and his son, Sauvik. Speaking at a meeting in Jajpur, Das labeled Parvat "ungrateful," alleging a shocking quid pro quo during the Rajya Sabha elections.
The "8-Crore" Allegation:
Das claimed that Parvata Biswal demanded ₹8 crore to clear personal debts in exchange for voting for the BJD. He cited BJD MLA Dhruv Charan Sahu as a direct witness to this demand.
Targets and Tributes:
On Loyalty: Das questioned where Parvata’s "self-respect" was when he accepted BJD tickets for his son in 2019 and 2024.
Defense of Badri Patra: In sharp contrast, Das praised Badri Narayan Patra for his unwavering loyalty. He noted that despite being from the Chief Minister's home district of Keonjhar, Patra could not be "sold" and remained a dedicated party soldier.
This outburst signals a deepening rift within the regional ranks, exposing long-simmering tensions over loyalty and political integrity.
