Senior reporter Askhaya Sahoo stated, “Dynastic politics is absolutely nothing brand-new to Congress. The celebration had actually enabled dynasts in politics and has actually maintained the custom too.”
He explained that the BJD had actually previously made dynastic politics of the Congress a significant concern and took political mileage. “If we take a look at the last 24 years of politics in Odisha, the celebration that has actually promoted dynastic politics most plainly is none besides the BJD,” he observed, including that the ruling celebration has actually ended up being a fertile platform for dynasts.
He observed that no celebrations in Odisha are above dynastic politics.
