I will work on every aspect to fulfill the 'Vikshit Bharat' dream of our Prime Minister, said BJP's Aparajita Sarangi.

Ahead of his joining, Manmath said that both his father Sura Routray and CM Naveen Patnaik have the same ideology; and, they want to serve the people of Odisha.

BJD leader and former Khallikote MLA Purna Chandra Sethy accused the party of sidelining him before crossing over to the saffron party on Monday. Sethy was reportedly aspiring for a BJD ticket this time. Earlier, another BJD leader Bipin Pradhan of Digapahandi joined the BJP. 

Multiple ticket aspirants have been a cause of headache for the BJD and they have started revolting against the incumbent legislators. Various circles are now abuzz about how the party will manage the rebels. Speculations are rife that rebels might seek sanctuary in the BJP.

Andhra has been deeming Kotia as part of its Salur district and has reportedly drawn a blueprint to garner as many votes as possible from Kotia this time. Many people have reportedly voting rights in Andhra Pradesh. Kotia panchayat consists of 21 villages sharing borders with Andhra.

In the 2019 elections, the saffron party proved its strength and entrenched itself in western Odisha by winning most of the Lok Saba seats.

Welcoming Baijayant Panda's nomination as the candidate for the Kendrapara Lok Sabha seat, the Rajnagar unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) today took out a huge rally.

In a jolt to the Biju Janata Dal (BJD), Khallikote’s former MLA Purna Chandra Sethy resigned from the party on Monday.

BJD has set eyes on about 8 lakh first-time voters who are going to exercise their franchise in the upcoming elections.

Samal said, "We have discussed threadbare about Odisha elections. Everything was put forth before the CEC. It is up to them to decide on the poll strategies and accordingly elections will be fought.”

Out of the candidates for 18 seats announced today, BJP has changed candidates in 6 Lok Sabha seats. The party has fielded new candidates in Kalahandi, Sambalpur, Bargarh, Berhampur, Mayurbhanj & Koraput.

The BJD party's spreading red carpets for the leaders who contested against the BJD candidates in the 2019 elections is causing discontent among its leaders and workers.

To counter the two BJP stalwarts Dharmendra Pradhan and Jual Oram, the BJD is reportedly planning to field its organisational secretary Pranab Prakash Das in Sambalpur and hockey legend Dillip Tirkey in Sundargarh.

The BJP’s CEC is expected to give its stamp of approval to the names of candidates of some Lok Sabha seats in Odisha any time soon amid reports that a list of candidates for 100 Assembly seats and 16 LS seats has been prepared. 

Not only the leaders but also the rank and file of the party are brimming with the confidence that they will form the government in Odisha.
