Why Dilip Ray is BJP's Choice? ।। ଦିଲୀପ ରାୟ କାହିଁକି?।। The Samata ।। Kedar Mishra

The explosive Rajya Sabha election battle in Odisha heats up as BJP backs convicted politician Dilip Ray to contest as an independent candidate against united opposition's joint nominee, renowned urologist Dr. Datteswar Hota (supported by BJD, Congress, and CPI(M)). Why is Dilip Ray – with a tainted past – the BJP's strategic pick for this high-stakes fourth seat showdown? Dilip Ray, a former Union Minister and hotelier, fits the BJP's alleged pattern of favoring leaders with dubious records. Convicted by a CBI court in the infamous coal allotment scam (sentenced to 3 years in 2020 for irregularities in Jharkhand's Brahmadiha block allocation in 1999), his conviction was stayed by Delhi High Court in 2024, allowing him to re-enter politics. Yet, questions linger: Is this stay enough to whitewash his record, or does it expose BJP's hypocrisy on corruption? #RajyaSabhaOdisha #DilipRayBJP #CoalScamConvict #DrDatteswarHota #BJPInOdisha #BijuPatnaikLegacy #OdishaPolitics #Samata #KedarMishra #CorruptionInPolitics #Election2026 #UnitedOpposition
