1 politician killed every year for 15 years in Ganjam: Data

Ganjam district has witnessed a grim trend of at least one local politician’s murder annually for the past 15 years. The latest victim, BJP member Pitabash Panda, was gunned down Monday night. Police investigations into past incidents point to previous enmity and business rivalries, particularly in the liquor trade, as significant contributing factors to these persistent political killings.
