BJD takes strong exception to Odisha Governor-designate’s remark
India's Biju Janata Dal (BJD) lodged a formal protest after Braj Mohan Ram, the governor-designate for Odisha, was reported to have said he would focus on bolstering the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) organisational structure. The BJD described the comment as shocking and unacceptable, emphasizing that a governor should remain politically neutral and asked the centre to keep the post nonpartisan.
