BJP Deploys 8 Ministers for Zone-Wise Campaign in Nuapada Bypoll
In a strategic push to reclaim the Nuapada Assembly seat, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has deployed eight ministers to spearhead a zone-wise campaign across the constituency.
The move underscores the party’s grassroots focus and its intent to consolidate voter support ahead of the crucial by-election.
Each minister has been assigned a specific zone to lead outreach efforts, coordinate booth-level activities, and engage directly with local voters. The assignments are as follows:
- Banjari: Rabi Narayan Naik
- Sunadei: Ganesh Ram Singh Khuntia
- Pataleswar: Gokulananda Mallik
- Jayjangha: Krushna Chandra Patra
- Konabhaira: Bibhuti Bhushan Jena
- Yogeshwar: Nityananda Gond
- Nuapada NAC: Mukesh Mahaling
- Khariar Road NAC: Krushna Chandra Mahapatra
Party insiders suggest this micro-targeted strategy is aimed at energizing the cadre, ensuring booth-level preparedness, and maximizing voter turnout. The BJP’s aggressive campaign posture comes amid a competitive political landscape in Odisha, where every seat counts.
Meanwhile, the nomination scrutiny process for the bypoll has concluded, with 14 candidates cleared and 5 applications rejected. The stage is now set for a high-stakes electoral battle in Nuapada.
