Bhubaneswar: The BJP pulled off a miracle in the 2024 Lok Sabha Elections in Odisha as the saffron party won 20 out of 21 parliamentary constituencies in the state.
The party bettered its performance by a huge margin as it had won 8 seats in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections in Odisha.
The Congress managed to secure the parliamentary constituency of Koraput as its candidate Saptagiri Ulaka retained the Lok Sabha seat. He had emerged victorious in the constituency in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls in the state.
The BJD, surprisingly, failed to open its account in the tally as the regional party, which had won 12 Lok Sabha seats in 2019, couldn't win a single seat this time.
Below is the list of winners.
