BJD leaders seek poll loss review before organisational

BHUBANESWAR: Even as BJD prepares for the organisational polls, senior party leaders have been expressing discontentment as the election results have not been reviewed even after seven months to analyse the reasons behind the party’s defeat.

The latest to raise question in this regard is former Rajya Sabha member and senior party leader Bhupinder Singh. He said BJD should find out why it was defeated in the elections despite the popularity of party president Naveen Patnaik. Singh said though he and several other senior leaders had taken up the issue with the party chief, nothing has been done in this regard.

Since the organisational elections are round the corner, the review of election result should have been completed. The party chief had announced about it after the polls, he said.
