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.

No party has completed its list for the Assembly constituencies.
