Veteran Biju Janta Dal leader and an eight times Lok sabha MP from Bhadrak has resigned from the party today protesting the denial of ticket for the coming poll. Sethi has expressed his anger stating that despite his loyalty to the party for so many years the denial of the ticket has been taken without even intimating him. There are rumors that Sethi may join the BJP although he has not told any thing about his next step.
Sethi had remained a minister in the union many times.
