India, March 11 -- A photograph of VK Pandian with a member of the Biju Janata Dal (BJD) at Naveen Niwas has gone viral on social media, leading to speculation about his current role within the party. BJD MLA Sarada Jena made it clear on Tuesday that Pandian has longstanding connections with the party.

"He (VK Pandian) was indeed a part of our (BJD-led) government and he has made significant contributions to the party. His popularity remains undiminished," Jena stated.

The fascination with Pandian is evident, with many desiring a photograph alongside him. Responding to the criticisms from some leaders blaming Pandian for recent setbacks, Jena remarked, "Why should a person be blamed for any failure? It was team responsibility."
