The Speaker of the Odisha Assembly, Bikram Keshari Arukha, along with two ministers, Samir Ranjan Dash and Srikanta Sahu, have resigned from their positions. Arukha cited personal reasons for his resignation and did not comment on whether he will be included in Naveen Patnaik's government. Labour minister Sahu resigned after a female Biju Janata Dal (BJD) worker accused him of sexual harassment.
