7. Romancha Ranjan Biswal-Deogarh
8. Sunanda Das-Bari
9. Basanti Marandi-Rairangpur

In its seventh list announced by the BJD in the evening, six sitting MLAs have been replaced. They are Sashi Bhusan Behera (replaced by Arabinda Dhali), Rajendra Kumar Sahu (replaced by Jyotirindra Nath Mitra), Prashant Jagadev (replaced by Rajendra Kumar Sahu), Praveen Chandra Bhanjdeo (replaced by Raj Kishore Dash), Debasis Nayak (replaced by Sunanda Das) and Sushil Kumar Hansdah (replaced by Basanti Marandi).

The party leadership this time has not given ticket to two senior leaders Sashi Bhusan Behera and Debasis Nayak.
