After bypoll debacle, BJP, Cong to revisit strategy in Odisha

Bhubaneswar, Nov 11 : Rattled by BJD’s clean sweep in the Odisha bypolls, the BJP and Congress on Wednesday said that they would discuss what went wrong and how to win back the confidence of the people.
The leaders of both the parties said that they will try to strengthen their parties at the grassroots level in order to win the confidence of the people.
“We will certainly revisit our strategy to strengthen the organisation of the party in the coming days,” said state BJP president Samir Mohanty.
He, however, said the by-elections have given a clear indication that there will be a direct fight between the BJD and the BJP in the future.
“The results have given a clear indication that in future there will be a direct fight between the BJD and the BJP as the Congress has lost its political relevance in the state,” said Mohanty.
The ruling BJD candidates emerged victorious in the bypolls to Tirtol and Balasore Assembly constituencies.
