Bhubaneswar: Former Dhamnagar legislator and Biju Janata Dal (BJD) leader Rajendra Das filed his nomination papers for the bye-election to the constituency as an independent candidate today.
The BJD yesterday announced Abanti Das’s name as its candidate for the bye-election. Following it, Das had written a letter where he vented his ire for being ignored.
Reportedly, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has fielded Suryabanshi Suraj, son of late Bishnu Charan Sethi, and Congress has fielded Baba Harekrushna Sethi for the by-poll.
