In the bustling city of Bhubaneswar, the Bharatiya Janata Party made a surprising move by changing their nominee for the Soro Assembly constituency in Odisha's Balasore district on the final day of nomination filing for the upcoming polls on Tuesday. The party, which had initially announced Rajendra Kumar Das as their candidate for Soro on April 2, has now replaced him with Parsuram Dhada.
Interestingly, both Das and Dhada filed their nominations as BJP candidates on Tuesday, causing confusion among the public. However, the party has officially confirmed Dhada as their chosen candidate for Soro. When questioned by the media, Vijay Pal Singh Tomar, BJP's election-in-charge for Odisha, stated, "Today, we have officially announced Parsuram Dhada as our candidate for Soro."
Dhada, who has previously won from Soro twice as a candidate for the Biju Janata Dal in 2014 and 2019, joined the BJP just last month after resigning from the BJD. Sources reveal that the decision to replace Das was due to dissatisfaction among local party workers and leaders, who were not pleased with his candidacy. It is also worth noting that Das is originally from Dhamnagar in Bhadrak district.
On the other hand, the ruling BJD has chosen Madhab Dhada as their candidate for the Soro Assembly seat, setting the stage for an interesting battle between the two Dhadas in the upcoming elections. With both parties now having finalized their candidates, all eyes are on the people of Soro to see who they will choose to represent them in the state assembly.
