Jharsuguda: Odisha Chief Minister and BJD supremo Naveen Patnaik has campaigned for his party candidate Deepali Das for the ensuing by-election to the Jharsuguda Assembly seat.

The BJD President said, “Naba Babu is not with us today but his daughter has come forward to take up the responsibility of her late father. You know, she is a highly educated girl. She has special interest in social service. I believe, if she gets the opportunity to serve the people of Jharsuguda, she can do it efficiently”.
The Biju Janata Dal believes in development, empowerment of women, youth and Farmers, Jharsuguda has created a special identity in the industrial development and in the coming days it will be the hub of the industrial district in the country, Naveen said.
“Winning and losing is a part of the democratic election process. So we all must maintain decency during the election campaign. No one, especially our women, our mothers and sisters should not be insulted or disrespected during the election campaign”, the Chief Minister said.
“You all know how the opposition party treated a girl who lost her father in the Padmapur by-election. Unfortunately, here too they are treating Deepali in the same way. It made me very sad. Deepali is the daughter of this soil. I hope that you will give him a chance to serve this land. I request you all to bless Biju Janata Dal candidate Deepali Das”, he added.
