BJD MLA 'Gives Befitting Reply' To His Rival; Clears Class 10

Purna Chandra, a 49-year-old Biju Janta Dal MLA, who quit studying in 1997 finally cleared the exam in 2021 and secured 68% marks in Odisha, after failing in his several attempts to pass class 10. Chandra said he cleared the exam to ''give a befitting reply'' to his Congress opponent Sangram Mohanty who ''mocked me saying I was class 9 pass''. Chandra added he will now pursue college studies.
