AAP to focus on illegal mining, corruption in Odisha

Bhubaneswar: Illegal mining and corruption are some of the issues which are likely to find place in the Aam Aadmi Party's (AAP) manifesto for the Lok Sabha and assembly elections in Odisha, a senior state

The elections for the 21 Lok Sabha seats and the 147-member assembly would be held simultaneously in Odisha April 10 and 17. AAP has so far announced candidates for 19 Lok Sabha and 112 assembly seats.

"We have a good prospect in six Lok Sabha constituencies. They are Bargarh, Kalahandi, Dhenkanal, Cuttack, Bhubaneswar, and Berhampur," he said.

Although, a strong anti-incumbency mood is prevailing across the state against the government led by Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik, the opposition parties are not in a position to encash it, Mohapatra added.
