BJD Accuses BJP Of Using ECI Against Bureaucrats In Odisha

The Biju Janata Dal (BJD) today targeted the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) accusing it of using the Election Commission against the bureaucrats in Odisha. At a press meet, BJD Rajya Sabha MPs Sasmit Patra and Manas Mangraj lashed out at the saffron party for targeting the officers out of desperation. Mangaraj said that the BJD achieved majority by the end of the third phase election in Odisha, which led to the desperation of BJP.

“People of Odisha never tolerate arrogance. So they made Naveen Patnaik Chief Minister five times. Naveen will be the Chief Minister for the sixth time as well. The action against two officers has raised questions on the ECI’s impartiality. The ECI has taken a unilateral decision without any evidence. We strongly condemn this. There is no trust on the ECI,” he said..

People know everything and they will give a fitting reply at the right time, he added.

“We have filed hundreds of petitions against BJP. But no action has been taken by ECI,” Mangaraj lamented.
