Majhi in a post on X said, “I participated as a worker in the state-level workers’ meeting organised at the state BJP office in Bhubaneswar. The BJP has 79 MLAs and the support of three Independent legislators, while the BJD has 48 MLAs plus two suspended MLAs. Sources said Thursday’s closed-door meeting discussed the strategy on how to win the fourth seat despite not having the required number. Earlier, Law Minister Prithiviraj Harichandan told reporters that the BJP will win the fourth seat. However, BJP state general secretary Biranchi Narayan Tripathy, after the meeting, said that organisational issues and people-oriented work of the Centre and state government were discussed in detail by the leaders in the meeting.
