The former Puri MP gave the account number of ‘Sabyasachi Panda’ – A/C No: 203601501728 at ICICI Bank, Chhatrapur. He revealed that Rs 45 lakh was credited from BJD’s SBI Account No. 10091755246 through cheque number – 441630.
Braja Tripathy has written a letter to the Prime Minister, seeking a probe into the matter, as it’s related to national security. The BJD has so far unable to defend itself. The party leader and spokespersons have maintained a stoic silence, while some of them just refuted the claims and evaded a definite answer.
Some TV channels as well as activists have posted the entire transaction statement. It’s not immediately known who is the Sabyasachi Panda, who received funds from the BJD. Whether he is the Maoist Panda or anyone else. If he is a different Sabyasachi Panda, why BJD paid him Rs 45 lakh in a single day. A lot of questions need to be answered. Sabyasachi Panda is currently lodged in jail.
