Bhubaneswar: Biju Janata Dal Supremo and Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik will file his nomination papers for the Kantabanji Assembly seat today. As per schedule, he will file the nomination papers at the Sub-collector office at Titlagarh.
The Chief Minister is contesting from two assembly constituencies, Hinjili in Ganjam and Kantabanji in Bolangir this year. He had filed the nomination papers for the Hinjili seat on the 30th of April. In 2019, Naveen had contested from Hinjili and Bijepur seats and had won with a huge majority in both the seats. He had retained the Hinjili seat and vacated the Bijepur seat that was won by the Biju Janata Dal in the subsequent by-elections.
