Bhubaneswar, Nov 10 (UNI) Expressing deep concern over the "deteriorating law and order situation" in Nuapada Assembly constituency, going to polls on Tuesday, the Opposition Biju Janata Dal (BJD) attributed the prevailing tense situation to the "aggressive and unlawful campaign practices" of BJP MLA candidate Jay Dholakia and other BJP leaders.
A delegation of senior party leaders, who met the Chief Electoral Officer (CEO), Odisha, at his office in Bhubaneswar, listed out 32 highly sensitive polling booths in the Nuapada Assembly Constituency and sought for adequate security arrangements for free and fair polls.
