News 18  

Benudhar Barik may be a fragile “old man,” but the 80-year-old barber in Odisha’s coastal Balasore district is excited about his debut in politics so late in life. It is people like him who should win and represent the masses,” said Odia movie actress Rani Priyadarshini Sahoo who campaigned for Barik for two days. Well-known Odia theatre actress Rani Panda and actor Dama Panda also came down to Balasore to campaign for Barik. These Odia stars added zing to Barik’s campaign even as candidates of the three main parties – BJD, BJP and Congress – carried on high-voltage campaigns led by their top leaders.
