BHUBANESWAR: All the four BJD nominees, who filed their nomination papers on Tuesday, are set to win the seats unopposed as no opposition parties fielded any candidate due to lack of numbers.
Sasmit Patra, Manas Mangaraj and Sulata Deo filed their papers for the three full-term seats, which will be vacated following completion of tenure of Patra himself, Prasanna Acharya and N Bhaskar Rao. Patra, a doctorate in philosophy in management, is the third politician in BJD to have got a renomination to the upper house of parliament.
