The independent candidate from the Ghasipura constituency also expressed gratitude to the people of the Lok Sabha seat, saying that he was glad he could keep his promise of conducting an incident-free election in the parliamentary seat.

Adding further, he said that he would continue to serve the people of the Ghasipura constituency, regardless of the wins and losses in the elections.

After a long, see-saw battle, BJD leader Badri Narayan Patra won the Ghasipura assembly seat by a margin of 13958 votes. Badri Narayan Patra defeated independent candidate Soumya Ranjan Patnaik.
