BJD's poll play: 33% women, 38% turncoats
Business Standard|April 12, 2024
The Biju Janata Dal (BJD) on Thursday nominated Lekhasri Samantsinghar, a prominent face of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and a critic of Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik, for the Balasore Lok Sabha (LS) constituency.

The LS ticket to Samantsinghar demonstrated that the BJD walked the talk on giving women 33 per cent of the seats to contest, as seen in 2019 as well. Interestingly, the party allocated eight, or 38 per cent, of its LS tickets to turncoats from the BJP and the Congress.

Odisha will vote for the Lok Sabha and Assembly elections simultaneously, in four phases, beginning May 13. While the BJD and the BJP have declared their candidates for all the 21 LS constituencies in the state, the Congress has announced nominees only for the seats that are going to the polls in the fourth and fifth phases. No party has completed its list for the Assembly constituencies.
