Lok Sabha 2019: BJD names candidates for nine assembly constituencies

The ruling Biju Janata Dal (BJD) in Odisha on Sunday announced the names of candidates for nine assembly constituencies for the upcoming elections.

The names were declared by Chief Minister and BJD President Naveen Patnaik, six days after the party released the first list of candidates on March 18.

While sitting party legislators Raseswari Panigrahi and Rohit Pujari have been renominated for Sambalpur and Rairakhol assembly constituencies, former assembly speaker Kishore Mohanty has been fielded from the Brajarajnagar seat.
