Subash Singh
Born in Kendrapada, a part of once undivided Cuttack district of Orissa, started his political career with CPI(M) and raised his voice for the poor and the suppressed. Due to the moral devaluation, lack of commitment and feudalistic leadership taken up by state leadership of CPI(M) in Orissa, he was forced to look for other options to have a strong standing ground in order to carry on his life long motive of uplifting the oppressed. This led to a series of events that resulted in Mr.Singh joining Biju Janta Dal (BJD), the leading political party of Orissa.

To which Times of India reported

"Senior CPM leader Subash Singh and three other Left leaders joined the ruling BJD here on Saturday in the presence of party president and chief minister NaveenPatnaik.

Some regional party leaders like Pratap Jena, Pravat Tripathy, Pravat Biswal and Debashis Samantray from Cuttack district welcomed them."

According to Orissa Chief Minister and President of BJD, Mr.Naveen Patanaik commented "their joining and expressed that They are asset of BJD and the party will be strengthen by their joining."
