Bargarh: Even as the poll campaigning by all major parties including ruling BJD, opposition BJP and Congress have intensified for the Bijepur Assembly by-election scheduled to be held on October 21, Congress has virtually given a walk over to BJP and BJD.
Speaking to media, senior Congress leader Suresh Routray on Thursday admitted that he didn’t see any winning prospect for his party in the Bijepur by-poll, rather it is ruling BJD who will win by a huge margin.
“What I have observed during my stay in Bijepur constituency is that there is a Naveen wave in the entire constituency. Going by the number of flags and posters put up by the ruling BJD in this constituency, is beyond our reach,” Routray told the media.
“All the money is now in the hands of Narendra Modi and Naveen Patnaik, while Congress is virtually penniless.
Can you win an election without money? After all, Naveen is having a gala time now and he has become the Chief Minister for five terms without any effort,” the Congress leader added.
