All standard operation procedures of Covid-19 will be followed strictly during the election procedure and a polling booth will be formed for each 1000 voters. Green signal of the state election officer over Pipili by-election has triggered political chaos among the three major political parties in Odisha – BJD, Congress and BJP. As of now no party has announced its candidate for the seat. In the mean time, Pratibha Maharathi, wife of late BJD MLA Pradip Maharathi has expressed her interest for BJD candidature. However, she said BJD Supreme Naveen Patnaik’s decision is final. Notably, Pipili MLA Pradip Maharathi succumbed to post Covid complicacies on October 4 last year.
