BJD announces final list of candidates; last Lok Sabha ticket goes to latest defector from BJP
The HinduThe Biju Janata Dal on Thursday announced candidates for nine assembly constituencies and the remaining lone Lok Sabha seat. The party has fielded Lekhashree Samantsinghar, a former vice-president of the Bharatiya Janata Party who joined the BJD four days ago, from the Balasore Lok Sabha seat. But the BJD has adopted a trend of welcoming political defectors, evident in its selection of candidates for six out of 21 Lok Sabha seats. While the regional party was open to experimentation in its choice of candidates for the Lok Sabha seats, it opted for established figures in most assembly constituencies, despite discussions about introducing new faces to beat the 24 years of anti-incumbency, said political observers.
