Sarpanch Chameli Ojha has not only put the government and administration in a difficult position but has also emerged as a viral figure across mainstream and social media. The support she enjoys online has turned her into an unexpected challenge for the ruling BJP, already grappling with multiple controversies.

Once a close confidante of Mahakalapada MLA Durga Prasan Nayak, Chameli has turned into his fiercest critic. The administration has mishandled the issue, allowing space to the Opposition. As an elected woman representative with a strong public following, Chameli has successfully shaped a narrative that the government finds difficult to counter.
