Rajya Sabha Polls: BJD to Hold Key Meeting Today to Finalise Candidate.

Biju Janata Dal (BJD) will hold a crucial meeting under the chairmanship of Naveen Patnaik at Naveen Niwas in Bhubaneswar to finalise its candidate for the upcoming Rajya Sabha elections.

Published by Diptimayee | February 27, 2026

The Biju Janata Dal (BJD) is set to convene a crucial meeting on Friday to deliberate and finalise its candidate for the upcoming Rajya Sabha elections.

All BJD MLAs have been asked to assemble at Naveen Niwas in Bhubaneswar for the meeting scheduled at 5 pm. The session will be chaired by party president Naveen Patnaik and is expected to focus on candidate selection and overall electoral strategy.

Sources indicate that the Rajya Sabha elections will be the central agenda of the discussions, with legislators likely to engage in detailed consultations before arriving at a final decision. The development follows a recent meeting of the party’s Political Affairs Committee, where the issue of candidate selection was reportedly discussed at length.

Meanwhile, sitting Rajya Sabha MP Sasmit Patra has purchased six sets of nomination forms, fuelling speculation about his possible renomination for the Upper House.

Although no official announcement has been made by the party, consecutive high-level meetings have intensified political anticipation over the BJD’s nominee.

Earlier, the Election Commission of India (ECI) issued the formal notification for the Rajya Sabha elections, initiating the process to fill 37 vacancies across 10 states, including four seats in Odisha.

As per the schedule, the nomination process began on Thursday and will continue until March 5. Scrutiny of nomination papers is slated for March 6, while March 9 is the last date for withdrawal of candidature. Polling for the seats will be held on March 16.
