Odisha Assembly Deputy Speaker Rajanikant Singh resigned from his position on Wednesday.

Singh submitted his resignation letter to Speaker Pramila Malik here in the Odisha Assembly. The Speaker has accepted his resignation.

Rajanikant Singh said that he gave his resignation to focus on the organisational aspects of the party ahead of the upcoming Lok Sabha elections next year.

"General elections are coming soon. That is why I have resigned because of this hindrance, as a deputy speaker is a constitutional post. I cannot go to the public with a party plan," Singh told ANI.

Singh has been serving as the Deputy Speaker of the House since 2019.
