Jagannath Pradhan, a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader currently lodged in Jharpada Jail, has stirred political discussion with a late-night post on X. Despite being in judicial custody for two days in Ward 29, Pradhan used the platform at 9:19 PM on Saturday to congratulate his daughter, Kashika Pradhan, for her selection to represent India in the 10-meter women’s air rifle event at the ISSF World Cup 2025 in China.

ଆସନ୍ତା ସେପ୍ଟେମ୍ବର ରେ ଚୀନରେ ଅନୁଷ୍ଠିତ ହେବାକୁ ଥିବା ISSF ବିଶ୍ୱକପ୍ 2025ରେ 10 ମିଟର ମହିଳା ଏୟାର ରାଇଫଲ୍ ଇଭେଣ୍ଟରେ ମୋ ଝିଅ ଓଡିଶାର ଗର୍ଵ ସୁଟର କାଶିକା ପ୍ରଧାନଙ୍କୁ ପ୍ରତିନିଧିତ୍ୱ କରିବା ପାଇଁ ମନୋନୀତ କରାଯାଇଥିବାରୁ ମୁଁ ହୃଦୟରୁ ଅଭିନନ୍ଦନ ଓ ଶୁଭକାମନା ଜଣାଉଛି.! pic.twitter.com/ZiqhjIj6LI

The post, expressing heartfelt pride and good wishes, has sparked a debate about how a jailed leader remains active on social media. Pradhan’s arrest stems from an incident on June 30, 2025, where his supporters allegedly assaulted Additional Commissioner Ratnakar Sahu at the Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation (BMC) office over sanitation issues in a ward.

Following the rejection of his bail, Pradhan was sent to 14 days of judicial custody. His ability to post on X from jail has raised eyebrows, with some questioning whether he has access to special privileges. Others argue it’s a non-issue, pointing out that public figures often rely on dedicated teams to manage their social media accounts, a practice not uncommon even for those in custody.

The controversy has divided opinions. Critics are questioning how a jailed leader maintains such close engagement with social media, suggesting it could point to lax jail regulations. Meanwhile, supporters dismiss the uproar, stating that managing social media through external teams is standard for politicians, even citing past examples of jailed leaders maintaining an online presence.

“It’s not a big deal,” said a supporter, noting that Pradhan, a potential MLA candidate, likely has a team handling his X account to keep his public engagement alive.

The focus on Pradhan’s post also highlights his daughter’s achievement. Kashika Pradhan’s selection for the ISSF World Cup is a moment of pride for Odisha, and her father’s message underscores his personal stake in her success, even amidst his legal troubles.

As the debate continues, the incident raises broader questions about the intersection of politics, social media, and judicial oversight in India.
