Bhubaneswar: After ruling BJD and opposition BJP, the Congress party on Saturday released its list of star campaigners for byelection to Padampur in Odisha’s Bargarh district.
The Congress’ list of 40 star campaigners include Odisha in-charge Chellakumar, OPCC president Sarat Patnaik, former OPCC president Niranjan Patnaik and senior leaders like Narasingha Mishra, Jaydev Jena and Suresh Routray.
