Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has announced Film Actor Sritam Das as its candidate for the Mayor elections in Cuttack Municipal Corporation (CMC).

BJP has declared Litterateur Dr. Suniti Mund as the Mayor candidate for Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation (BMC), a move that surprised everyone.

The Biju Janata Dal (BJD) today announced its candidates for the post of Mayor of Bhubaneswar, Berhampur and Cuttack Municipal Corporations respectively.

Manas Mangaraj spent considerable amount of time to revamp the BJD's organisational structure in Gajapati and quell dissidence within the party.

There is huge resentment in the party after the humiliating loss in the Panchayat Polls and efforts are being made to draw attention of the central leadership.

While BJP focused more on Media and Social Media, the BJD penetrated at the grassroots level under the charismatic leadership of Naveen Patnaik, who remains an enigma for all.

On the third and final day of counting, the State Election Commission (SEC) has declared the results of all the 852 Zila Parishad Zones.

Former Women and Child Development Minister and three-time BJD MLA from Hindol constituency, Anjali Behera lost the Panchayat Polls from Giridhari Prasad Panchayat by 826 votes.
