BJD fort Jajpur to crumble on Sept 10? BJP plans mega party-joining ceremony

Political equations in Jajpur are likely to change dramatically on September 10, with the BJP planning a massive show of strength. Under the leadership of State BJP President Manmohan Samal, a Maha Mishrana Parba (mega joining ceremony) will be held at the Dharmasala Mahotsav ground.

According to Dharmasala MLA Himanshu Sahoo, the event will mark a turning point in district politics, as several senior BJD leaders, panchayat representatives, and elected members are expected to switch sides and join the BJP. He further claimed that this development would signal the collapse of the BJD’s long-standing stronghold in Jajpur.

“State BJP President Manmohan Samal is all set to come to Jajpur on September 10. BJP workers of all 7 constituencies will felicitate him at the Dharmasala Mahotsav ground. Over 50K people will be present from the seven constituencies. All frontline leaders of BJD, including Presidents, Sarpanchs, and many others, are scheduled to join BJP. They were not treated well at the party and had no direction. Now, they have got their direction and will join the BJP in the presence of the President,” informed Dharmasala MLA Himanshu Sekhar Sahoo. 

Adding to the buzz, Himanshu alleged that Pranab Balabantray may soon desert Dharmasala. However, when contacted for his reaction, Pranab refrained from commenting.

BJP sources said that a grand welcome and felicitation will be organised for Manmohan Samal during his visit, as the party prepares to showcase its growing influence in the district ahead of future political battles.

With the Maha Mishrana Parba set to attract large participation, all eyes are now on Dharmasala to see how this political realignment reshapes the balance of power in Jajpur.
