BHUBANESWAR: The State BJP has decided not to renew the membership of former party MLA from Khariar, Hitesh Bagarti, following his arrest by the CBI.



The party will launch a massive membership drive from November 8. BJP spokesman Samir Mohanty said Bagarti is no more a member of the party. “The party will not renew the membership of Bagarti till his name in the chit fund scam is cleared by the court,” he added.



The membership drive is launched every sixth year. According to party constitution, every member should renew his or her membership after six years. The last membership drive was conducted in 2009.
