Bhubaneswar:(ONT Bureau)17/2/17 The three tier panchayat polls has completed its third phase of voting and like the previous two times, BJP’s performance has shaken the earth from under BJD’s feet.
While the ruling party claimed 87 zilla parishad zones, the lotus has made its mark in an extremely close 72 zones. Congress is clearly far behind at 12 seats while independent candidates have taken over four seats.
BJP’s slogan ‘India is changing; Odisha will change’ has come true with their surprise victory across the state that has challenged BJD’s 17 year old legacy of clean sweeping elections.
