Power-Politics Rock Family Ties In Odisha Elections 2019

Family rocks in politics. But Elections 2019 canvas in Odisha shows how politics has rocked the families of political leaders instead.
Many political families are split wide open. Though it is widely known that politics divide family for sake of principles, the unusual rush in Odisha during election season alludes how families here get divided for ‘power politics’.  Because, migration is at its peak in ‘election season’ and power seems alluring for political minds.
Sample the contrast. True to the saying by American author Dan Brown that never underestimate the ego of a politician; the hurt ego of veteran leader Damodar Rout flamed to an act of revenge against BJD; and Dama joined BJP to make the BJD bite the dust. On the other hand, his son Sambit Routray was made BJD State Secretary and candidate from Paradip Assembly seat, which Dama is representing in current Legislative Assembly. Rout is contesting 2019 elections from neighbouring Balikuda- Erasama Assembly.
However, a shrewd politician he is, Rout sees it as a conspiracy by BJD to nail him. Dama said he will not campaign in Paradip. Voters of Paradip are wise enough to know the politics behind this move.
