Biography
Hailing from Brahmagiri, Odisha, Mohapatra is the great granddaughter of Bakshi Jagabandhu Bidyadhar who pioneered the Paika rebellion in East India which happens to be the very first rebellion against the British empire (1817), much before the Sepoy mutiny (1857). Her political career has been passed on to her from her late father Lalatendu Bidyadhar Mohapatra [1] who was a leader of Odisha Congress. She studied in two private schools of Bhubaneswar and Cuttack and pursued higher studies in Sophia College, Mumbai from 2015.
Although Mohapatra had not confirmed her political career until October 2017 [2] she had been in the limelight after being active in the 2014 general elections[3] and raising her voice in several political and social matters. She has been prominent in the regional media.
On 14 October 2017 she joined the BJP under the leadership of Dharmendra Pradhan. She was appointed the state coordinator of BJP in August 2018 and state convener of the I support Modi campaign.[4]
Upasna spearheaded the Brahmagiri assembly campaign for her uncle Lalitendu Bidyadhar Mohapatra in the 2019 Assembly elections where he took the seat of Brahmagiri and is the current MLA of Brahmagiri Assembly segment.[citation needed]
In June 2019, shortly after the announcement of the election results, Upasna got engaged to Mumbai-based businessman Subhransu Sekhar Biswal in a formal ceremony in Bhubaneswar.[5]
