Mr Rout said that neither I am sad nor socked as I think I was never in BJD. I used be, I am and I will continue to have a normal life; says Damodar Rout after his dismissal from BJD .I am a follower of Biju babu (former Odisha CM Biju Patnaik). He is my strength and role model. Will live as long as his name is alive.
