Bhubaneswar, Odisha, emerges as a development showcase for the Biju Janata Dal (BJD) in the ongoing elections, with the incumbent MP Aparajita Sarangi from the BJP banking on Prime Minister Narendra Modi s assurance of continuity. Despite widespread appeal, Sarangi secured victory in 2019, breaking the BJD s longstanding hold on the seat. This time, the BJD has fielded Manmath Routray, a newcomer, while the Congress has nominated Yasir Nawaz.
