The Pioneer, Feb 21, 2012

The local BJD leaders on Monday held parleys with the party’s 28 zilla parishad candidates in Kalahandi district who were leading in the counting of votes after the panchayat elections.
Labour & Employment Minister Pushpendra Singh Deo told media that unofficially the party has reports that the 28 candidates have won the polls against the BJP and the Congress.
The candidates vowed before the party leaders to show good performance during their tenure.
Singh Deo said that people of the district rejected Congress this time as they did nothing for the people after forming the last zilla parishad.
District BJD president and TDCC Chairman Balabhadra Majhi said that all the success goes to Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik and Rajya Sabha member Pyarimohan Mohapatra as they campaigned for days in the district.
Unofficially, out of the district’s 36 ZP seats, the BJD has got 28 seats, the BJP has got five seats and the Congress has got three seats.
The other BJD leaders present at the meeting included former MP Subash Nayak, district vice-president Sunil Nayak, Bhawani Mishra, Bhawani Nial, Manoj Naik, Chandrasekhar Naik and Kali Raiguru.
