Pipili Bypoll: BJD Candidate To File Nomination On March 30

Bhubaneswar: Rudra Pratap Maharathy, who has been chosen by BJD supremo Naveen Patnaik as the party candidate for the ensuing bypoll to Pipili Assembly constituency, will file his nomination on March 30.

Briefing the media after a party meeting held at the official residence of minister Susanta Singh here on Saturday, BJD spokesperson Pratap Deb said his party will fight tooth and nail to repeat its winning spree in Pipili as it had in the previous bypolls in the state.

Replying to a question on the bitterness among the family members of the former sitting MLA late Pradeep Maharathy, Deb claimed that this is a rumour in the media. “There is no bitterness among any family members. How can a family member be hostile against his/her kin?” Deb pointed out.
