Asked about the impact of rebel candidates, Hariprasad said it will not affect the prospect of the official candidates in the state.

Congress is lagging behind ruling BJD in campaigning.

BJD president and its star campaigner Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik has already launched his party's campaign from his native Ganjam district.

He is campaigning in Bolangir and Kalahandi districts today.
