Amid claims from several local aspirants, Patnaik’s decision to nominate Chhuria — who hails from outside the constituency — has raised eyebrows within political circles. “I declare Snehangini Chhuria, a strong leader from western Odisha who has served as a minister and held important portfolios, as our candidate,” said Patnaik, adding that she has been “an asset to the party” and has worked extensively for women and the poor.
