-

Puri: Trouble seems to be mounting for BJP spokesman and party nominee for Puri Lok Sabha seat Sambit Patra who carried an idol of Lord Jagannath in a vehicle during a rally and it has not gone down well with a section of the temple servitors and the Congress.


While the Congress lodged a complaint with the state chief electoral officer (CEO) Tuesday saying Mr Patra used Lord Jagannath for political benefit and it is violation of the model code of conduct, a show-cause notice has been served on him.

The District Election Officer, Puri has issued the show-cause notice to Patra. The DEO said that even permission was not granted to hold the rally in the city.

Jagatsinghpur: The election to the Jagatsinghhpur Lok Sabha constituency and its Assembly segments will be held April 29 during the fourth phase of polls. However, the usual sheen is missing in the campaign in Jagatsinghpur Assembly constituency although just five days are left for the polling. Observers said that this is due to the infighting in all parties, the heat wave and the lack of coordination among party workers and their leaders. All political parties are conducting roadshows, meetings and door to door campaigns, but that has failed to impress voters. The campaigning so far has been lacklustre, but was expected to pick up after the third phase of elections Tuesday. This time the BJD has not fielded its senior leader Bishnu Das from Jagatsinghpur Assembly seat. Instead the party has fielded Prasant Muduli as its candidate and has fielded Bishnu Das from the Tirtol Assembly seat (reserved). Muduli is the incumbent MLA of Balikuda-Erasama constituency in the district. ...

Citing Finance Ministry documents, Congress’ chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala said that between March 2014 and December 2018, India’s public debt increased by a ‘whopping and shocking’ 57 per cent, going up to Rs 83,40,026 crore. “The sensational and shocking documents of the Finance Ministry now reflect that the Modi government has taken loans of Rs 30,28,945 crore post March 2014-Dec 2018. In 70 years, the total debt of the country up to March 2014 was Rs 53,11,081 crore. It is clear that Modi ji took loans on India’s resources and completely decimated India’s economy,” Surjewalla alleged. Surjewala claimed that every individual who is facing a challenge of livelihood has been burdened by the debt taken by Prime Minister Narendra...
