SAMBALPUR: Bargarh MP and BJP national secretary, Suresh Pujari, is now spending the lockdown reading books. Pujari, who was an outstanding student, said he had picked up books left unfinished when he was in college.
"I have never kept myself away from the people for all 24 hours a day in the 35 years of my public life. I am still in contact with people. I am meeting them and trying to resolve their problems, but by maintaining a distance," said the MP.

"I am also doing official work at home, but still I find myself with a lot of free time. I am a voracious reader and would not get the chance to read because of my hectic engagement. The lockdown has given me the opportunity now. I am spending time reading books of my choice," said Pujari.
On his list are Pearl S Buck's 'The Good Earth', 'Jagyaseni' by Pratibha Ray and 'Amabasya Ra Chandra' by Gobinda Dash. "Because of social and political engagements, I generally stay outside home, but the lockdown has given me the opportunity to spend some time with my family," he said.
Pujari also revealed that he loves to cook. "I am very fond of cooking. Though I am not cooking at home now, I am definitely lending a helping hand to my wife in the kitchen," he added.
