BJD inching towards forming Govt in Odisha

Reporters Today, Bhubaneswar, May 23: Amidst Modi wave sweeping the Lok Sabha Elections 2019 across the country, Biju Janata Dal (BJD) was inching closer towards its fifth consecutive Assembly Elections win in Odisha.

The ‘Modi factor’ did not do well in Odisha, rather it’s the regional party BJD that continued to become victorious.

The Naveen-led BJD is inching closer to retain the power with its candidates leading in over 100 Assembly seats in the polls.

However, the Indian National Congress (INC) is likely to be replaced by the BJP as opposition party in the State Assembly.

As per the trend at 5 pm, the ruling party was ahead in as many as 108 seats in the Assembly election.
