Doing volte-face, Rajya Sabha member and BJD bigwig Pyarimohan Mohapatra today pulled himself out of the Orissa Cricket Association elections to be held in September or October.
Four days after he declared his intentions to contest for the top OCA post, Mohapatra, in a release today, said earlier he had decided to contest in the election, honouring the request of his friends and well-wishers. ``But now the possibility of an early Lok Sabha poll has made it impossible for me to spare my time for the OCA,`` Mohapatra said.
