In Bhubaneswar, the ruling party BJD has taken a serious step by filing a complaint with the Election Commission. They have accused the BJP candidate, Prashant Jagdev, who is running for the Khurda Assembly seat, of threatening the state-run Mission Shakti office-bearers. A group of BJD leaders, including Rajya Sabha MPs Sulata Deo and Sasmit Patra, went to the state's chief electoral officer to register their complaint.
The BJD has claimed that Jagdev has been using intimidating tactics to pressure the master bookkeepers involved in Mission Shakti, specifically in the Tangi block of Khurda district. They have requested the EC to take appropriate action against him and ensure that the upcoming polls are conducted in a fair, just, and transparent manner.
On the other hand, the BJP has made allegations against BJD's candidate for the Cuttack Lok Sabha constituency, Santrupt Misra. According to them, Misra has been using the logo of 'Ama Odisha Nabin Odisha', a government program, in his campaign hoardings. These hoardings have been put up in public places and along roadsides, which is a clear violation of the model code of conduct, as pointed out by state BJP spokesperson Dilip Kumar Mallick.
Mallick has requested the EC to take necessary action against the BJD candidate and remove the hoardings from public view. The use of government logos in political campaigns is strictly prohibited, and the BJP believes that Misra's actions must not go unpunished. It is now up to the Election Commission to look into these matters and ensure that the upcoming elections are conducted in a fair and unbiased manner. This is a crucial responsibility, and the citizens of Odisha are counting on the EC to uphold the integrity of the democratic process.
