Elections 2024: BJD MLA Crosses All Limits, Uses Slangs In Public Meetings

by Hemanta Pande

Bhubaneswar, May 4: Naveen Patnaik-led Biju Janata Dal's obstination, caused by long years in power in Odisha, has crossed all limits. Leaders of the ruling party are seen throwing distasteful and derogatory remarks at rival leaders and opposition parties in public meetings during the ongoing poll campaigning.

Such a hostile situation was marked at a public meeting, addressed by Kabisuryanagar MLA Latika Pradhan.

In a video clip that recently went viral on social media, the BJD MLA is heard making abusive remarks about opponents, arrogantly saying, "Biju Janata Dal ra kehi bala bi banka kari paribani" (No one can harm a hair of BJD member) using slang term common to Odia.

While BJD president and Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik always talks about being polite and humble to people, his party MLA's abusive remark about opposition leaders is a “very sorry state of affairs”, analysts say.

This was not an isolated case. BJD MLA from Jharsuguda, Dipali Das allegedly threatened people during her election campaigning recently.

The incident reportedly occurred when the BJD MLA visited Malibeunra village under Jharmunda panchayat of Kirmira block in Jharsuguda district to seek votes for the upcoming polls.

When the villagers questioned the MLA about what the development works she had done in the village, she reportedly expressed anger towards the people and said, " I don't care whether you vote for me or not."

BJP MLA candidate from Jharsuguda, Tankadhar Tripathy hit back Das for her "rude behaviour" towards the villagers and said that the people of Jharsuguda will give her a befitting reply in the ensuing elections.

Assembly and Lok Sabha elections will be held simultaneously in Odisha in four phases, starting from Phase one on May 13, Phase two on May 20, Phase three on May 25 and the final Phase on June 1.

The results will be announced on June 4.
