Bhubaneswar: A BJP worker, who was hospitalised following an assault, has accused some BJD supporters of attacking him after he opposed them for creating disturbances during polling in Odisha’s Sambalpur district.
The BJP worker, identified as Subhabrat Panda of Gadhadharpur under Nakatideula block of the district, had gone to cast his vote in a booth in the village during third phase of polling in the state.
