Bhubaneswar/New Delhi: Three BJD leaders from Odisha - Prasanta Nanda, Soumya Ranjan Patnaik and Achyuta Samanta took oath as Rajya Sabha members in presence of Vice President of India Venkaiah Naidu, the ex-officio Chairman of the upper house today.

The three elected BJD members assumed office in place of BJD MPs Dilip Tirkey, AU Singh Deo and BJD-backed independent candidate AV Swami, whose tenure ended last month.
