Ahead of the crucial bypoll in Nuapada, a major political storm has erupted within the Biju Janata Dal (BJD) after Kalpana Dholakia, wife of late BJD leader and former MLA Rajendra Dholakia, levelled serious allegations against the ruling party.

Speaking to the media, Kalpana Dholakia expressed deep anguish over what she termed as the party’s ‘neglect and lack of respect’ towards her husband, who, she said, had devoted over two decades of his life to strengthening the BJD at the grassroots level.

In a serious allegation, she alleged that the conch party did not stand by her husband when he needed them the most, and the ‘neglect and lack of respect’ is one of the main reasons for his untimely demise.
