All eyes are on the Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation where the Biju Janata Dal and the Bharatiya Janata Party are locked in a prestigious battle over the mayoral election.
The election to all urban local bodies will be held next week and the parties have intensified their campaigns. For the first time, the heads of the corporations would be elected through direct elections.
The Bhubaneswar (north), Bhubaneswar (central) and Ekamra–Bhubaneswar Assembly seats lie in the jurisdiction of the Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation, the largest ULB in the State.
