Union Minister Jual Oram Alleges BJP Conspiracy Amid Opposition Claims of Factionalism
Union Tribal Affairs Minister Jual Oram accused some BJP colleagues, particularly leaders who joined from other parties, of conspiring to defame him and remove him from the Union cabinet. He warned of strong action against those undermining him and expressed intent to contest elections again. The opposition BJD highlighted these remarks as evidence of internal BJP factionalism in Odisha, criticizing Oram's language and raising concerns about law and order, citing a related arms seizure case involving an associate of Oram.
