Bhubaneswar, August 20, 2024 - The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has announced Mamata Mohanty as their Rajya Sabha candidate. Recently, she resigned from her Rajya Sabha membership and left the Biju Janata Dal (BJD) to join the BJP. Speculations about her re-nomination to the Rajya Sabha by the BJP have now been confirmed by the party's central leadership. Given the BJP's required majority in the Legislative Assembly, Mamata Mohanty's election to the Rajya Sabha is almost certain.
