BHUBANESWAR: Subhashree Panda
alias Milli, a social activist from Ranpur and wife of Odisha Maovadi Party
(OMP) leader Sabyasachi Panda, may join Biju Janata Dal (BJD) very soon,
sources said.
Milli on Saturday went to Naveen
Niwas to meet BJD president and Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik in order to
induct her into his party, but she could not meet Patnaik.
“I came here as an activist, who
fights for women, not as the wife of Sabyasachi,” said Milli, adding, “If the BJD
chief feels my importance, he will consider me as a discipline member of his
party.”
Milli said that she has already
decided to contest from her own Assembly constituency Ranpur. “If I don’t get
ticket from other parties, I will contest as an independent candidate,” she
added.
Notably, Milli’s father-in-law
late Ramesh Panda was a three-time CPI (M) MLA.
