Though the SCs (Christian) of Mohana Assembly seat are BJD supporters and played a leading role to strengthen the party but they stay neglected, deprived of any position in the party.
SC community members like Prasant Nayak, Prakash Nayak, Abhay Paricha, Gunamani Nayak, Hadibandhu Nayak, Prema Nayak, Bade Nayak, Huensan Nayak, Sisir Nayak, Subas Nayak, Jitu Nayak and Sukanta Kuldeep Nayak said though earlier the Christian SCs were Congress supporters, yet due to their hard work, the BJD has won the PRI polls and Mohana seat has come to the grab of the party. However, in awarding party positions to them, the party has neglected them for which the BJD supporters are feeling disheartened. They appealed to the party top brass to look into the matter.
