Voters Want Face-to-Face Interaction with Naveen | Odisha Political News

-


Hinjili/Bijepur: The people of Hinjili and Bijepur Assembly segments have a common complaint against BJD candidate and Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik that they have seen him in television and posters numerous times, they want to have a face-to-face interaction with him.

Though people of both the Assembly segments are happy that the chief minister is contesting from their areas, they rue that they hardly find Patnaik canvassing for votes like nominees of rivals – BJP and Congress.

Patnaik has been elected to the state Assembly four times in a row from Hinjili in Ganjam district since 2000.

In addition to seeking a fifth term from the seat, this time he has also entered the fray from Bijepur, a key Assembly constituency in western Odisha.

Polling in both Hinjili and Bijepur Assembly seats will take place in the second phase April 18. While Hinjili is 175 km from Bhubaneswar, the distance between the state capital and Bijepur is 348 km.

BJD leaders, including ministers are campaigning for Patnaik. But, people are not happy as they want to see the Biju Janata Dal chief in their villages.

“We have seen the chief minister in television and posters, but not in person. We are his strong supporters, but unable to see him,” said Rukmani Sahu, a 35-year-old woman self help group member at Sheragad. Many others echoed similar views.

Jagatsinghpur: Infighting, Heat Wave Rattle Parties

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.

Bhubaneswar: The Biju Janata Dal (BJD) Thursday targeted the BJP candidate for Kendrapara Lok Sabha seat, Baijayant Panda, alleging that he wanted to be the chief of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Finance to help his family business.

He thought that as the Chairman of the Standing Committee on Finance in Parliament he can influence banks and further his business interests,” Patra alleged. “In May 2014 when the state government was formed after elections, Panda informed a Board of Directors meeting of Imfa held May 20, 2014, that the mining company has succeeded in get
