BJD announces names of 6 more candidates for Assembly elections, drops 5 sitting MLAs
Monday, 22 April 2024 The five sitting MLAs denied tickets were Simran Nayak of Hindol, Raghunandan Das of Balikuda-Ersama, Subrat Tatariu of Raghunathpalli, Sunanda Das of Bari and Sudam Marndi of Bangirpossi. Marndi has been fielded by the BJD from the Mayurbhanj Lok Sabha seat while his wife Ranjita Marndi has been nominated by the regional party from the Bangirpossi Assembly segment.
Bhartruhari Mahtab, born in 1957 in Odisha, is a seven-time MP and the new pro-tem Speaker of the 18th Lok Sabha. Son of Odisha's first CM, he's a politician, writer, and social contributor. Mahtab won the Cuttack seat six times with BJD before joining BJP in 2024. He won again on a BJP ticket. Mahtab has received the Outstanding Parliamentarian and Sansad Ratna awards. His appointment as pro-tem Speaker has sparked controversy due to his recent party switch.

Patnaik emphasised that the people of Odisha will ultimately decide on his successor. Patnaik acknowledged Pandian's contributions in various sectors but reiterated that Pandian had not held any official party position.
