After the death of Nuapada Mla Rajendra Dholakia, the seat of the Nuapada meeting will be held on November 11. The stir in the BJD, BJP and the congress increased on this. The congress first announced his candidate’s name, removed the advertisement, read only the news, Ghasiram Majhi read as the party. At the same time, the BJD almost confirmed the appointment of Jai Dholakia, son of the late MLA, remains only a formal announcement, but there is confusion about the candidate choice in the BJP. The name of both Yadumani Panigrahi and former MP Basant Panda’s son Abhinandan Panda in the party is reinforced. Congress candidate Ghasiram Majhi disputed the general election of 2024 as an independent candidate. At the time, he was a contender for the congregation ticket, but the party gave the ticket to the then PCC president Sharat Patnaik. Dissatisfied Ghasiram disputed the election by disputeing the independent land and waging a difficult fight against BJD candidate Rajendra Dholakia. He finished second by obtaining more than 50 thousand votes, while congressional candidate Sharat Patnaik finished fourth at just 15 thousand votes. Abhinandan Panda of BJP finished third. Ghasiram Nuapada is currently the president of the District Congress. PCC -President Bhaktcharan Das has already indicated that Ghasiram Majhi would become a congress candidate in the election. The BJD ticket of Jai Dholakia is almost stuck, although the BJD has not officially announced the candidate, but Jai Dholakia has been approved. They are now working on active publicity among the public and carry to the public about the development works done during their father’s term. The BJD organization also gives him full support. Soon, the Nuapada election management team will be formed by the BJD and Jai’s name will be formally explained. Differences were revealed regarding the choice of candidates in the BJP regarding ticketous in BJP. Because the party now rules in the state, it has become a matter of prestige for BJP through election. The party leadership wants to make careful decisions. Abhinandan Panda (son of former MP Basant Panda), who was a candidate in the last election, is again in the ticket race. Abhinandan, who began his political life in 2009, was also a candidate for the NAC NAC president of the NAC in 2022, although he lost. Now his father is trying to assure Basant Panda tickets for the boy by placing full power. On the other hand, senior BJP leader Yadumani Panigrahi is also a strong contender for the ticket. He is an executive member of the state and was also in a ticket race in the last general election, but he was disappointed at the last moment. They were active on the problems of tribe, laborers, central to -weeks and farmers and had their own clear identity outside the party. In general, the Nuapada at election became a struggle for the three major parties (BJD, BJP and the congress).
