Congress brighten its chance in Jeypore by picking up Youth and educated candidate Sri.K.Nagaraj.Dora
Subsequent
to the delimitation exercise, Jeypore is the only general category
assembly constituency in the Koraput parliamentary constituency. The
seat has been retained by Sri Rabi Narayan Nanda of BJD during last two
elections. However, the delimitation exercise and reservations have
thrown upen the constituency for an interesting fight. As both the
Koraput and Nawarangpur has been made reserve constituency, both the
sitting MLAs Sri Traprasad Bahinipati and Sri Habibulla Khan were
eyeing for the Jeypore seat. However, Sri K.Nagaraj Dora of Borigumma Block of the Jeypore Contituencey has proved to be a dark horse and piped both the sitting MLAs to claim Congress ticket for the Jeypore constituency.
The new Rahul formula for preference to Youth and educated congress
leaders has clearly tilted the scale in favour of Sri Dora. Sr Dora in
his early forties had been a front ranking congress activist since 1983
and has been the Block President of Student Congress, Vice President of
District Youth Congress, Ge.Secy of State Youth Congress and President
of District Krushak Cell over the years and has worked in the
constituency at grass root level since 1983. The Jeypore assembly
constituency has three main segments - the Borigumma Block '" the
largest Block of the state, Jeypore Block and Jeypore constituency. The
fact that Sri.Dora belong to Borigumma Block, apart of Jeypore
constituency, has worked in his favour as against Sri Bahinipati and
Sri Khan both of whom are treated as outsiders and vehemently opposed
by the local congress leaders and workers. This issue has polarized the
congress workers of the Jeypore constituency so much that other
aspirants for the Congress ticket like Sri. Biren Patnaik, Sri Sudhir
Saranghi and Sri Ajit Sahu etc have decided to support Mr.Dora's
candidature to ensure that no outsiders get the congress seat from
Jeypore. Moreover, falling age of Mr. Khan and the antecedents of Mr.
Bahinipati like his involvement in cross voting for Rajya Sabha
candidate Dillip Ray did not help their cause with congress leadership.
Sri Bahinipati was earlier suspended from congress for cross voting and
his rowdy behavior in the assembly had already embarrassed the congress
leadership
The
split in the BJP-BJD alliance had a given a boost to the prospect of
congress candidate Sr. Dora from Jeypore. More over the years Sri Nanda
has lost much of his credibility due his involvement in one scandal or
another. The prospect of some body from Borigumma Block, for the first
time since independence, is going to represent the Jeypore constituency
had united the entire population of Borigumma Block irrespective of
their party affiliation. The demographic composition of Jeypore
municipality, which is Telugu speaking dominated is going to help Sri
Dora as against Sri Nanda of BJD. Apart from being a close associate of
Sri Giridhar Gamang, the undisputed leader of the undivided Koraput
District, Sri Dora enjoys immense goodwill of the people of the Jeypore
Municipality, Jeypore Block and Borigumma Block and all the frontal
organizations of Congress in these three segments have unequivocally
supported Sri Dora's candidature, which is going to see him through the
assembly election.

This article is totally utter non-sense. Naraj dora is the weakest ever candidate for jeypore by congress party.he has never represented grassroot level and all this post he had taken just to be in a position. throughot his life he has only served gamang family and will continue to do so after election.he is a dummy candidate of bjd there. he is unpopular in his own native place borigumme as everybody knows he used to sell MPLAD work to bjd people and anti congress people. Money has been the biggest criteria for him ,along with gamang’’s son they are involved in big scams. he is totally unaware of the demopgraphic of constituency. According to latest reprt, he is unable to move in the area bcoz of congress worker’’s protest. Many senior leaders and workers of congress have left the party in protest of his candidature. Best of luck Mr. dora for confidently losing by 30000 votes minimum.Strong Candidates like BIREN MOHAN PATNAIK AND BAHINIPATI HAVE BEEN IGNORED.SYCHOPANCY WINS AT THE END.
