Bhubaneswar: Keeping ahead of ruling BJD and opposition BJP, the Congress party on Friday released the first list of its nominees for corporator posts in BMC election.
President of Bhubaneswar district committee of Congress Biswajit Das announced the names of its nominees for corporator posts in 30 wards in the election to Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation (BMC) in the first phase.
Earlier in the day, the party had announced Madhusmita Acharya as its Mayor candidate for BMC.
The BJD and the BJP are yet to announce their candidates for the post, which is reserved for woman. Bhubaneswar had last seen a woman heading its civic body in 1993 when then Janata Dal’s Kiran Bala Mangaraj was elected as Chairperson.
