BHUBANESWAR:
Denying the speculation of joining with other parties to form grand alliance in
the State ahead of General Election, Samata Kranti Dal (SKD) president and MLA
George Tirkey on Monday said they didn’t have any information regarding the
alliance.
Notably, the grand alliance
coordinated by Odisha Jan Morcha (OJM) chief Pyarimohan Mohapatra would be an
umbrella party of several small outfits in the State like Ama Odisha Party,
Kalinga Sena, SKD and Republican Party of India (RPI). The small parties would support
the national party BJP to fight against the Congress and the BJD in the State,
sources said.
While addressing a public rally
organised by the SKD at the Rashtrabhasha Prachar Samiti ground here, Tirkey
said they can tell their final decision about joining in the grand alliance after
party’s Parliamentary board meeting.
Founder of the party and former
Union Minister Braja Kishore Tripathy said they will raise the issue of
corruption while campaigning for the fast approaching General Election. Their
party candidates would reach out to the people to strengthen his party, he
added.
More than one thousand people came
in a procession started from Ram Mandir square to the rally venue at Rashtrabhasha
Prachar Samiti ground here to attend party’s first State-level convention.
