The Telugu Desam Party (TDP), Jana Sena and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will together contest the upcoming Assembly and Lok Sabha elections in Andhra Pradesh.

BJP leader Lekhashree Samantasinghar said, "There are many officers who have overstayed at their place of postings. Many of them have not been transferred for five, 10, and even 12 years since their postings. Their long service in one place is against the guidelines meant for free and fair elections.”  

With the recent posturing of the Biju Janata Dal (BJD) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) keeping everyone guessing about a possible alliance, the Congress in the state has been in an upbeat mood.

No discussions were held on alliance, said Odisha BJP president Manmohan Samal after his arrival from New Delhi on Friday.

Alliance with BJD will stall Odisha's aspiration for a BJP government

Odisha Pradesh Congress Committee (OPCC) chief, Sarat Pattanayak on Thursday took a jibe at the Biju Janata Dal (BJD) saying that the ruling party will make an alliance with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) not for the interest of the state but for own benefits. 

Odisha witnessed the coalition between the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Biju Janata Dal (BJD) from 1998 to 2009 and during that period the two-party combine fought three parliamentary elections and two Assembly elections. Both parties have enjoyed power on a 4:3 seat-sharing formula.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday dedicated to the nation and laid the foundation stones of multiple projects worth Rs 20,000 crore at Chandikhole in Odisha. 

As the political parties have already started preparations for the upcoming big political battles, aspiring candidates in constituencies across Odisha aren’t lagging behind as well. 

PM Modi’s ‘Mera Desh, Mera Parivaar’ pitch has found a strong connect not just among party workers but also top ministers and party brass.

Recently, Gopalpur MLA Pradeep Panigrahi and former minister Debasis Nayak joined the BJP after quitting BJD. Similarly, sitting Chilika MLA Prashant Jagdev also joined the BJP in Bhubaneswar recently.

With the 2024 Lok Sabha and Odisha Assembly elections approaching fast, the political atmosphere in Dasapalla has already started to heat up. 

Former Dhamnagar MLA and Biju Janata Dal (BJD) rebel leader, Rajendra Das on Saturday cleared the air on joining the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). 

Putting an end to all speculation, Odisha BJP Chief Manmohan Samal told media persons that the party will not enter into any alliance in the State. He mentioned this after returning from the election management committee meeting in Delhi.
