Among the BJP’s ticket hopefuls are state executive member Milan Seth, vice president of the party’s district unit Urkul Tandi, Bharat Behera, Jashobanth Seth and Kusha Kumbhar.
Though Tandi has his sway in the constituency, it is not yet clear if the state leadership will repose faith in him in the coming elections.
All these saffron leaders have intensified their visits to villages and trying their level best to broaden their support base.
