The Morning Standard
|August 19, 2025
DAYS after the BJD announced it will move the Orissa High Court over large-scale irregularities in 2024 Assembly and Lok Sabha polls in the state, chief electoral officer (CEO) of Odisha RS Gopalan on Monday said the Commission has already responded to the points raised by the BJD twice.
The CEO also said that the special intensive revision (SIR) of voters list will be conducted in the state from next month.
Addressing a media-conference here, Gopalan said the ECI has responded to all issues raised by political parties, especially the BJD and state Congress, and assured the public of a fair and transparent electoral process. "Baseless allegations should not be made to undermine the credibility of the Election Commission or shake the public's trust in the democratic process," he added.

What we have is a story based on later Buddhist and Jain chronicles and Sanskrit plays like Mudra-rakshasa, all imagined after 500 AD, i.e, 700 years later.
