Bhubaneswar: Ahead of the Jharsuguda Bypoll , BJP's Jharsuguda district president, Mangal Sahu quit the party and joined the Biju Janata Dal (BJD) today at Sankha Bhawan in Bhubaneswar.The move by Sahu came just a week ahead of the Jharsuguda bypoll
Leaders deployed down to the panchayat level as BJD hopes to win big to brush off recent shock bypoll loss to BJP, and silence rumours over minister's killing that necessitated the bypoll
As Opposition parties are likely to make a major poll issue out of Naba Kisore Das’s murder and the police’s failure to ascertain the motive behind it, the BJD says it’s confident of a win.
