Election Commission Transfers Sujata Pandian Following BJP Allegations of BJD Affiliation.

The Election Commission has instructed the transfer of Sujata Karthikeyan, the wife of BJD leader V.K. Pandian, from her role in the Mission Shakti department. A delegation from the BJP at a senior level had raised concerns, suggesting that Ms. Karthikeyan might be leveraging her position to connect with voters, potentially swaying them in favor of the BJD.
