Bhawanipatna: The ruling BJD has deputed two ministers to add spice to the party'scampaign for November 22 election to Bhawanipatna municipality.
Revenue minister S N Patro and energy minister Arun Sahu have started electioneering, appealing to voters to elect their party nominees. Sahu after visiting some wards on Tuesday left for Nuapada's Khariar.
Congress and BJP candidates have launched a door-to-door campaign promising people that they will clean the wards if they came to power. Sources said state-level Congress leaders will arrive within two days to woo voters here.
On Wednesday, Patro at a public meeting held in ward no-3 said BJD had ushered in an era of development in the state by implementing various welfare schemes. He told voters his party would help improve the area if it wins the polls.
The Congress, which has been in power for 15 years in Bhawanipatna municipality, could not develop the town, alleged Patro.
Kalahandi district BJD president Balabhadra Majhi accused the Congress of looting public money and assured the voters to improve the town. "If we come to power, we will make a plan to improve the town," said Majhi. Patro was accompanied by actor-turned-politician Munna Khan and MLARajendra Das.
