May 16: Opposition BJP is putting all its strength and embracing all measures to lure voters for the by-election at Brajarajnagar. As many as four Union Ministers are among the 40-member team of campaigners for BJP’s candidate for Brajrajnagar by-election, Radharani Panda. On May 9, 2022 the state BJP has given a list of 40 campaigners provided by the Odisha unit of BJP to the Chief Election Commissioner (CEC).
Union Ministers Dharmendra Pradhan, Piyush Goyal, Pralhad Joshi and Ashwini Vaishnaw are among the leaders who will be campaigning for Panda for the ensuing Brajrajnagar by-election.
In 2014 general election, BJP candidate Radharani Panda had bagged the seat by defeating BJD candidate Anup Kumar Sai. However, she lost the seat to BJD’s Kishore Mohanty by a margin of 11,634 during the 2019 Assembly polls.
