Tension flared up during the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)’s mishran parv at Jhariabahal under Laikera tehsil in Jharsuguda district on Tuesday after some youths created a ruckus and ransacked the stage.

Notably, the question papers of Mathematics and English examinations allegedly went viral on social media even before the students entered the exam hall on Saturday and Monday raising serious questions about the conduct of the examination.

The ruling Biju Janata Dal (BJD) in Odisha appears to be grappling with the problem of plenty with as many as 10,000 aspirants looking forward to enter the fray while there are only 168 tickets on offer (147 Assembly seats and 21 Lok Sabha seats). 

The BJP’s new political gambit has pushed the BJD on the back foot. The party workers will hand out Shakti Samman Patra to SHG presidents, secretaries, MBKs, CRPs, Bankmitras, community staff, Pranimitra, assistant cook, Anganwadi workers and ASHAs, even as the party has been carrying out Nari Shakti Vandan workshops at various places. 

Nayak lashed out at the government for not allowing journalists to enter the secretariat. “The secretariat is not anybody’s parental property. Journalists will move outside the Assembly when it will be in session. What do you think of people? The secretariat is the property of 4.50 crore people. It is not the property of the coterie that has been hatching all conspiracies,” he added.

BJP’s National Vice President and the election in-charge for Uttar Pradesh, Baijayant Panda participated in the meeting. Moreover, BJP’s Odisha in-charge Vijaypal Singh Tomar and co-in-charge Lata Usendi among others attended the meeting which was inaugurated by the party’s National President, JP Nadda.

The Opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Congress on Friday claimed they have seen through the ruling Biju Janata Dal's (BJD) plan to extend KALIA yojana by three years and giving Rs 2000 to landless beneficiaries ahead of the Lok Sabha and Odisha Assembly Elections. 

Gopalpur MLA  Pradeep Panigrahi on Thursday not only showed his power in Ganjam but also in the presence of Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on dais asserted that the mission will start from Hinjili, Chief Minister’s home constituency. 

The people of Odisha are fully prepared for a double-engine government in the state. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said this at the party’s Vijay Sankalp Samavesh held at Baripada in Mayurbhanj on Thursday. 

With the Lok Sabha and the Odisha Legislative Assembly elections fast approaching, the ruling Biju Janata Dal (BJD) has been doling out a plethora of schemes and freebies. Of them, there are some major announcements for the one-crore tribal population as well. 

Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan on Tuesday took a dig at Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik for inaugurating the Gangadhar Meher Lift irrigation in Bijepur and Cancer Hospital in Bargarh, saying the symbolic projects will hardly make any difference in people’s lives. 

Speaking to the media, Manmohan Samal said, "The Prime Minister will first go to Puri to have darshan of Lord Jagannath and will later address a public meeting at Chandikhole. However, the exact date of his visit will be finalized soon.”

In the last 10 days, the Odisha government has announced financial incentives under 13 schemes and has also hiked pension allowances. It seems as if the government has loosened the purse strings ahead of the General Elections to woo voters.

The BJP has set a target to win 370 Lok Sabha seats and over 400 seats for the NDA in the upcoming elections.    As the current political scenario and equations are different in different states, the party has drawn up special and different battle plans accordingly.    

The BJP stalwart said, “The BJP has a target of winning 370 Lok Sabha seats while the NDA is to cross the 400 target. Our party workers have been making that much effort day and night to meet the targets. In the next 100 days, we all have to make relentless efforts. All the leaders and party workers have come out with such determination and commitment.”
