Jajpur: As the BJD prepares to go the polls, Sukinda
assembly segment in Jajpur district is now going to witness a interesting battles.
The seat presently represented by party stalwart Prafulla Chandra Ghadai is now
in the target of some businessmen and mines mafia who want to get BJD ticket.
What is quite interesting that some of these mafias are facing probes for illegal and over extraction of minerals, mainly chromite in the Sukinda valley. People apprehend that once these mafia elements get into the ruling BJD fold, the law and order situation in the entire valley would be disturbed.
Claiming themselves as BJD men, the mines mafia - who are operating in Talangi and Sukinda mines;- are trying to queer the pitch for the sitting MLA Mr Ghadai in different manners.
Once known for their notorious activities, these so-called BJD leaders made huge money while working as raising contractors. Many of these leaders have several criminal cases pending against them in various police stations of Jajpur district.
According to party sources, many of these mafias are making desperate attempts to divide the BJD workers of Sukinda to prove their leadership. Recently, many of them went to Naveen Niwas in a bid to meet the chief minister. However, they were frustrated as the chief minister's officials did not take note of their presence, let alone allow them inside.
Mr Ghadai, who is almost set to cross swords with Sarat Rout of Congress, has already crisscrossed the constituency several times. His meetings marked huge turnaround of party supporters pledging their loyalty for him.
