BJP nominee for Puri Parliament seat Dr Sambit Patra concluded his poll campaign near the Lions Gate of Jaganath Temple on Sunday evening. He bowed down before the Patitapaban idol.
Patra said he ultimately came under the Lord’s shelter and it is His wish whether to save him or kill in the big battle. He even repeated his earlier statement that Lord Jaganath had called him and Modi has sent him to fight the polls from Puri.
The BJP national spokesperson is fighting with formidable BJD candidate and three-time Puri parliamentarian Pinaki Misra. Satya Prakash Nayak from Congress is also in the fray. The main contest is between BJP and BJD. The BJD is confident of retaining the seat due to its strong organisational base while the BJP hopes to make its debut on the “Modi wave”.
