Notes edit

  • The 2011 Odisha Reference Annual[9] mentions the 1957 elected MLA, Surendramohan Hembram as belonging to the Gana Parishad. This is inconsistent with the detailed Statistical Report by ECI,[21] which mentions the same elected MLA, but as being an Independent politician.
  • Similarly, the 2011 Odisha Reference Annual[9] mentions the 1971 elected MLA, Sashibhusan Marndi as being an Independent politician. This is inconsistent with the detailed Statistical Report by ECI,[18] which mentions the same elected MLA, but as belonging to the Jharkhand Party.
