Rivals Target Naveen For ‘Ditching’ Bijepur

-




Bhubaneswar: The rival political parties in the state Monday tried to corner Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik for allegedly ditching the people of Bijepur Assembly constituency by abdicating the seat after winning it with the support of the voters from the area.

Both the state Congress and BJP called the move a pre-planned attempt to counter the saffron party wave in the area. They also claimed that the result of by-election in the constituency will prove whether the voters are happy or not with the Chief Minister’s decision.

Speaking to reporters, senior Congress leader and former Leader of Opposition in the state Assembly Narasingha Mishra said, “If people are dissatisfied with the Chief Minister they will respond through votes in the by-election and if people are so happy with his decision then they will respond accordingly and will support by voting in his favour.”

On the other hand, the saffron party said that the move was pre-planned by the BJD patriarch. State BJP leader Suresh Pujari said, “The decision to fight from Bijepur was a political ploy. His resignation from the Bijepur seat was a humiliation to the people of Bijepur and Bargarh; it was a betrayal to the whole of western Odisha.”

The BJD, on the other hand, justified the CM’s move to keep Hinjli and quit Bijepur. BJD leader and newly-inducted State Health Minister Naba Das said, “When the Chief Minister himself is saying that he is going to take care of Bijepur, no other question arises.

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
