Apparently being informed that he would not be re-nominated to contest elections this time, Rayagada district’s Gunupur BJD MLA Trinath Gomango on Monday resigned from the primary membership of the party alleging “injustice” meted out to him by the party.
Gomango sent his resignation to BJD supremo and Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik alleging that he has been neglected, tortured and subjected to injustice in the party.
He said, “Many senior leaders are giving patronage to several anti-socials in the district.
When I opposed this, they started hatching a conspiracy against me. When I brought the matter to the notice of party president Naveen
Patnai, no action was taken in this regard.”
“Besides, I and many honest party workers were not even informed about the party’s Misrana Parva (joining ceremony) held recently in Gunupur. This shows the party supremo’s step-motherly attitude towards tribal people in the constituency,” Gomango further alleged.
Gomango, who had joined the BJD in 2009, was elected from Gunupur on the party ticket in the 2014 Assembly elections.
