BJD-BJP Alliance Decision Pending; Causing Frustration Among Leaders and Members
Despite continuous meetings, the decision on the alliance between BJD and BJP is still pending, causing frustration among leaders and members.
The seat allocation issue remains unresolved, with no clear solution coming from continuous negotiations between central and state BJP leaders. Speculation suggests that Minister of State Amit Shah’s decision will be decisive, with a formal announcement expected later.
However, contradicting reports have left everyone in the dark, resulting in growing dissatisfaction among ticket holders and party supporters. Political observers warn that if the confrontation continues, both parties may suffer losses in future elections.
Meanwhile, Manmohan Samal, the BJP state president, and Manas Mohanty, the organization’s editor, have been in New Delhi for four days, meeting with Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan and Governor Sunil Phulal. A late-night meeting at Amit Shah’s residence is expected to settle seat allocation, with additional meetings planned in Delhi. A clearer picture is expected to emerge in the following days, as both parties work to achieve an agreement.
