Bhubaneswar: Chief Minister and BJD President Naveen Patnaik on Tuesday strongly countered the claim made by the BJP about the saffron party forming government in Odisha.
“The Bharatiya Janata Party said they would form the government in Karnataka. They failed. They also said the same for Telangana and failed. They said the same in Himachal Pradesh and failed”, the BJD supremo said.
Naveen said that he is certain that the BJP’s same reputation will continue in this election in Odisha.
The BJD supremo also sharply criticized the BJP leaders for using poor language and making false allegations.
“Senior BJP leaders such as Chief Ministers and Cabinet Ministers visit Odisha as guests. We expect them not to use poor language and make false allegations. This is not appreciated by the people of our state”, the Odisha CM said.
“I pray to Lord Jagannath that better sense prevails with them”, Naveen further stated.
