It has been a long 19 years since Bijay Mohapatra stepped into the State Assembly as a member.Will he finally be able to make his way into the House will be decided in two days time.
However, as the high voltage campaign for the Patkura Assembly segment came to an end on Thursday, the veteran politician and BJP leader seemed to be up against the same formidable wall of resistance that has kept him out through five successive elections.Even as there has been a sense of sympathy for him in the constituency this time around, breaching the BJD wall remains as difficult as it was nearly two decades back.
