While the panchayat elections in Odisha is just a few days away, there are several issues of violence and brutal attacks being reported in several parts of the state. While a woman from Ganjam district was brutally attacked yesterday, there has been reports of severe pre-poll booth violence in Puri and Ganjam districts. Surely not a good advertisemnt of lowest level elections.
There has been serious confrontation between two groups of supporters from different political parties at Basudevpur in Digapahandi block of Ganjam district yesterday where seven people has been brutally injured and have been admitted to the hospital.
On the other hand some miscreants allegedly attacked BJD’s Zone-24 Zilla Parishad candidate Dharnidhar Sahu while he was campaigning at Potal village under Pipili block of Puri district on Monday.
