Replying to the felicitation, he said that it is a long journey fro a common man like him to go to the highest Law Making Institution of the country.
Born and brought up in Srirampur, a village in Jajpur district, Mr.Parida was attracted to Communism and led the leftist student union during his student career.
Mr.Parida admitted that he is a Communist by soul and fought for the common cause during his entire life.
He said being attracted to Communist Literature, a sojourn to Moscow shaped his life.
Mr.Parida said after years of engagement in information dissemination, he opted for political profession and joined in Congress.
Fed up with backbiting and dirty politics, Mr.Parida left Congress to join Samajbadi Party.
