Jayanarayan got 'hat trick' fighting the battle alone



It is a hat-trick win for the Sambalpur legislature Jay Narayan Mishra who made a record in the Sambalpur history winning the election for third time consecutively. Defeating his rival of congress Sureswar Mishra, he won the battle with a margin of over 6,997votes. Known to be arch-rival of the party state president Suresh Pujari, Mr. Mishra had even filed his nomination papers this time with out waiting for party declaration and party was forced to nominate him as party candidate. While Jay Narayan managed a simple win in Sambalpur, Suresh Pujari lost the battle to congress’s Anup Sai in Brajarajnagar.
Sources said, in the Sambalpur assembly seat no one has earlier won the seat for third times and it is Jay Nayayan Mishra who made it despite of all odds. Earlier late Bodhram Debey, Shradhakar Supakar, Banmali Babu, Sriballav Panigrahi, Durga Sankar Patnaik have won the seat for two times consecutively. Shradhakar Supakar has won the third time when he was again elected in 1885 assembly election. But Jay Narayan has won the election consecutively for 3 times. “It is a win of the people. I am always with the people so despite of the opposition from my own party people have voted me”, Jay Narayan told.
Jay Narayan got a total 34086 votes when his congress rival Sureswar Mishra got 27089 votes.
While the Mishra’s camp celebrating the victory, silence shrouds in the Pujari camp in Sambalpur. Though Mishra did not expressed happiness over the defeat of the party President Suresh Pujari still the gigantic celebration in the Mishra’s camp despite the party’s debacle condition in the state is indicating his mind. “We are sorry for him but he got the price for his nasty game in Smbalpur”, a close associate of Mishra told.
On the other hand it is also a hat-trick defeat for the BJP chief Suresh Pujari who lost the election battle third time consecutively in Brajarajnagar. While Pujari got a total 38862, Anup Sai of congress got a victory with 50,858 votes. Anup Sai and Suresh Pujari contested the election for the third time and Anup remains the winner every time. “I accepted the mandate of the people in Brajarajnagar and as well as in the state. We will analyze the party strategy as I personally feel we did a mistake to let the people understand the stand of the party”, Mr. Suresh Pujari told.
