Rajdeep’s Take On Odisha Elections 2019 | Odisha News
Bhubaneswar: It is an exciting and surcharged atmosphere in Odisha with both Lok Sabha and Assembly elections underway. Amidst numerous surveys and predictions, OMMCOM NEWS’ Editor-In-Chief Jajati Karan decided to catch up with Rajdeep Sardesai, Political Analyst and Consulting Editor of India Today Group, who has reported from Ground Zero during several General Elections and is the author of the book ‘The Elections That Changed India’. Here is his take on this year’s election:
Jajati Karan: You have been here in Odisha for the last couple of days for covering the elections, what is the sense that you are getting from the ground?
Rajdeep Sardesai: I have spent only two days in Odisha, I am like a ‘parachute journalist’. My aim was to get a sense from people as to what is happening on the ground because there was a lot of talk about ‘Parivartan’. In Tripura, the BJP swept aside the Left, so there was this feeling that they might do the same to Biju Janata Dal here. I don’t get the sense of a sweep, but there is definitely some sense of undercurrent for change among younger voters. But, I don’t get the sense that BJP will sweep Odisha or BJD is losing ground as much as it was being speculated in Delhi.
