“Welcoming goondas, land grabbers and cheats & giving them tickets is real face of Odisha BJP”

“Not only that, Shri. Baijayant Panda was also found embroiled in the Bahamas scandal when three shell companies namely Finlay, Messina and Pikika registered in the Bahamas had funneled money into his owned TV company and investigation was ordered through a Multi-Agency Group into this funding.”

Bhubaneswar, 26/05/2024: “Odisha BJP has been regularly welcoming people into the party who are goondas, land grabbers, cheats and black money launderers. Not only have they welcomed them, they have given them tickets as well. One such goonda is Shri. Prasant Jagdev who was expelled from BJD for his criminal activities. Yesterday, he smashed EVM, assaulted Presiding Officer and Polling staff and attempted to flee from a polling booth of Bolgarh in Begunia Assembly constituency of Bhubaneswar LokSabha.” said BJD MP and National Spokesperson Dr. Sasmit Patra addressing a Press Meet today,

He fled from there with the help of Odisha BJP Bhubaneswar LokSabha candidate Smt. Aparajita Sarangi who helped him flee in her car and accompanied him to ensure his fleeing till the Police intercepted and detained Shri. Prasant Jagdev at Begunia. We find that many Central leaders are coming to Odisha during the Election season as Election Tourists and are repeating like parrots the script given to them by Odisha BJP leaders. They are probably unaware about Odisha BJP and its policy of welcoming criminals and giving them tickets.

These Central leaders talk of taking strong action against criminals. Hearing this people across Odisha are laughing. Because the joke was, that two Central leaders campaigned in Kendrapada and said they wanted to take action against land grabbers and they asked vote for Shri. Baijayant Panda. The foremost among the land grabbers today is Shri. Baijayant Panda. His company has done illegal land-grabbing from Scheduled Caste people. He also has a case against him for this. Similarly, his-owned TV channel has grabbed Government land. BJD had removed Shri. Baijayant Panda from the party, but BJP inducted him. They neglected their own party leaders, and the Odisha BJP gave ticket to this land-grabber.

Not only that, Shri. Baijayant Panda was also found embroiled in the Bahamas scandal when three shell companies namely Finlay, Messina and Pikika registered in the Bahamas had funneled money into his owned TV company and investigation was ordered through a Multi-Agency Group into this funding.

Shri. Prasant Jagdev in a drunken state mowed down BJP workers in his car and has beaten up a BJP Town President of Khurda. BJD threw him out of the party but BJP welcomed him with garlands. Made him their poster-boy. Sidelining workers of the party who had toiled for many years, the ticket was given to him.

Shri.PradeepPanigrahy who had cheated poor people of his constituency promising jobs. He was ousted by BJD for his anti-people activities. The person against whom the BJP was going agitations, garlanding him they made him their frontline leader. Ignoring leaders of the party who had worked for many years, they gave ticket to a cheat.

This is the real face of Odisha BJP. A party that welcomes goons, land-grabbers, cheats and black money launderers with open arms and gives them party tickets,” added Dr. Patra
