Lok Sabha election: All roads lead to Naveen Niwas

BHUBANESWAR:With elections round the corner, ticket-seekers have been creating a beeline for Naveen Niwas, the place of dwelling of leader minister Naveen Patnaik, with legions of supporters.

From early in the morning till late in the night, one can now see hundreds of BJD staff thronging what is the unofficial seat of power. In sync with the executive minister’s announcement that he would give one-third of BJD’s Lok Sabha tickets to women, the choice of ladies visitors at Naveen Niwas is rather high.

Ticket aspirants say they are trying to justify why they will have to be nominated. Sasmita Nayak, an aspirant for the Hindol meeting segment, who visited the executive minister’s place of dwelling on Tuesday, stated Hindol had been sending ladies legislators for a while now.

“Anjali Behera (2000-14) and Seema Nayak (2014-19) have represented the seat. It is an issue of satisfaction for me to belong to the constituency. We consider Hindol needs the appropriate management and I'm an aspirant for a celebration price ticket. I consider the BJD president will believe my identify given my connection with citizens in the house,” she stated, at the same time as her supporters broke out in applause.

Satyabhama Singh, an aspirant for the Telkoi meeting constituency, stated, “I want to thank Naveen Patnaik for his decision to nominate 33 per cent ladies from Odisha to the Parliament. This is a historic transfer and can pass a long way in empowering ladies. We hope he'll nominate extra ladies candidates for the meeting polls as smartly. I have been elected to the panchayati raj institutions for the previous 25 years. I'm in quest of a price ticket for the Telkoi segment.”


A security staff asking for anonymity stated hundreds of folks were visiting the executive minister’s place of dwelling each and every morning to publish their biodata. “We are having a tough time. This will continue this election season,” he stated.


MPs in the outgoing Lok Sabha, Pratyusha Rajeswari Singh and Rita Tarai, MLA Pramilla Mallick, and their supporters were among those that visited Naveen Niwas on Monday.


Though the footfall on the BJP and Congress offices, too, is rising, it's no match to the carnival outdoor Naveen’s house as the tickets of the 2 nationwide parties are decided in Delhi. Unlike different parties, which function from their offices, Naveen works out of his house. In sharp distinction thus, the BJD place of business, part a kilometre away from his place of dwelling, has been quiet this ballot season.
