Late Industrialist’s elder son and BJP National VP-Spokesperson, Baijayant Panda also remerged his late father by sharing few memorable times with him and the former MP, Panda, has also shared a very rare photo of IMFA Group founder with India’s 1st Field Marshal, Sam Manekshaw. The former MP, Panda also recollected how his late father has chosen a tribal dominated area like Thrubali under undivided Koraput, now under Rayagada to give a new dimension to Odisha’s industrial growth with value addition.
“2 yrs ago my father passed away. A patriot, he returned in 1960 after yrs in the US: not to Mumbai, Delhi, Bhubaneswar, nor Rourkela, but to remote Therubali village in undivided Koraput, to create jobs for thousands. Sam Manekshaw was his great friend and supporter,” an emotional Baijayant Panda twitted.
