The party has also sought an answer from the Chief Secretary in this regard.

Visibly happy about the campaign, BJP leader Aparajita Sarangi said, "In the last five years, I have received a lot of love and affection from the people. I am indebted to all the people of the Bhubaneswar Parliamentary seat for this.”

While Dilip Tirkey is contesting from Sundargarh Lok Sabha seat on a Biju Janata Dal (BJD) ticket, Prabodh Tirkey, former captain of the Indian men’s Hockey team, is from Talasara Assembly constituency on a Congress ticket.

Two-time BJD MP from Berhampur and Ollywood actor, Sidhant Mohapatra after joining the BJP was fielded as the party’s MLA nominee from the Digapahandi Assembly seat while two-time BJD MLA of Khallikote, Purnachandra Sethi has been given a chance to contest from the same seat on a BJP ticket. 

Maintaining a balance, while the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has fielded as many as 49 new faces, it has reposed faith in 63 leaders and re-nominated them.

The BJP stalwart said, "I have put forth a report card pointing out the promises that I made in 2019 and the works I have done so far.”

BJP leader Golak Mohapatra said, "The BJD should first announce the names of the candidates for 147 Assembly seats. Why the BJD is having a headache for our candidates. Is the ruling party waiting for imported leaders? That is why it is not announcing the candidates for the remaining 75 seats.”

In 2014, BJP leader Jual Oram and BJD leader Dilip Tirkey had locked horns in Sundargarh Lok Sabha seat and they are in the fray after 10 years

BJP’s National Vice President Baijayant Jay Panda, who has been re-nominated for the prestigious Kendrapara Lok Sabha seat, was given a rousing welcome at Chandol on Monday.

BJP National Vice President and Kendrapara Lok Sabha MP candidate Baijayant Panda began his election campaign in Kendrapara after visiting the Baldev Jew temple and holding a massive roadshow.

BJP leader Golak Mohapatra said, ”We will organise big meetings at 21 Loks Sabha seats where top leaders like Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, party’s National President JP Nadda and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh among others will address the meetings.

The Congress has not at all come out with its lists of candidates for LS and Assembly seats. In certain seats, the three parties have adopted a wait-and-watch policy, though they say that their candidates have been selected. 

The six-time Cuttack MP recently quit the ruling BJD after expressing displeasure over the party's functioning and affairs.

BJP leader Surath Biswal said, "The safety of the common people is in a deplorable condition because of the shortage of security personnel. The security personnel engaged for VK Pandian are taking salaries from the state coffers.”

In its eight list, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) announced the names of candidates for the three pending Lok Sabha seats in Odisha.
