While the days are passing by in the selection of candidates for both BJD and BJP for the Nuapada by-election, the Congress has already announced tribal leader Ghaziram Majhi as its candidate.
There is talk that Jay Dholakia, son of former MLA Rajendra Dholakia, may be made a party member after joining the BJP, and now the main question is who will be the party member in BJD.While there is a ruckus in the selection of candidates in BJD and BJP, the Congress has already taken to the campaign trail.
The district has 70 percent of the population belonging to the Scheduled Caste, while there are 1 lakh 5 thousand votes. In the Nuapada constituency, there are a total of 2 lakh 53 thousand 624 votes, of which 60 percent are tribal votes.
So it remains to be seen when the BJD will announce the BJP alliance, or whether the Congress will die in the BJD-BJP tussle.
