Dhamnagar Bypoll News Today

BJP MLA Bishnu Charan Sethis death necessitated the by-election.

The BJP riding on a sympathy wave for its candidate, the son of the partys deceased leader, and helped by a division of BJD votes on account of a rebel, coasted to a clear victory in the estuarine Dhamnagar constituency of Odisha on Sunday.

A BJP delegation led by its general secretary Lekhashree Samantasinghar, in a petition to Odisha's Chief Electoral Officer, has alleged the BJD used government officials to campaign for the ruling party candidate in the Dhamnagar Assembly bypoll.
