In order to give a fight to ruling BJD, former president of Odisha Pradesh Congress Committee (OPCC) Niranjan Patnaik has been campaigning for party candidate Kishore Patel for the last two days, while OPCC president Sarat Patnaik joined him today. Niranjan was replaced by Sarat as state head of Congress in a recent decision of the party high command.

Opposition BJP has also lined up several Union ministers and film actors in its list of star campaigners. Bhojpuri actor Dinesh Lal Yadav, popularly known as Nirahua, will campaign for party candidate Radharani Panda in Brajrajnagar Municipality area on Friday.
