Nuapada, Nov 5: With just days left for voting, Nuapada is witnessing an intense political showdown as top leaders from multiple parties descend on the constituency to campaign for their candidates. The battleground is heating up with rallies, bike processions, and sharp exchanges dominating the final stretch.

CM Majhi, Vishnudev Sai to Campaign for BJP
On November 6, Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi and Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnudev Sai will campaign for BJP candidate Jay Dholakia. Preparations are underway for a major rally in Komna, where BJP’s youth wing has mobilized support. Dholakia himself has been conducting door-to-door outreach in the region.

Congress and BJD Step Up Counter-Offensive
Congress leaders Niranjan Patnaik and Jaydev Jena held a bike rally in Godphula Panchayat to seek votes for Ghasiram Majhi. Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy is expected to join the campaign on November 7, while former UP CM Akhilesh Yadav may arrive on the final day of canvassing.

BJD candidate Snehangini Chhuria campaigned in Khariar Road, while party leader Tukuni Sahu stirred controversy by calling Jay Dholakia a “bad son,” prompting a sharp rebuttal from BJP senior leader Basant Panda.

War of Words Intensifies
The campaign trail has turned combative, with Congress leader Suresh Kumar Rautaray targeting BJP in a press conference. Allegations and counter-allegations are flying as all three major parties—BJP, Congress, and BJD—vie for dominance in Nuapada.

With voter sentiment building and leaders making last-minute pitches, Nuapada is set for a decisive electoral moment. The bypoll will determine not just a new MLA, but also signal the shifting political winds in western Odisha.
