Patnaik responding to Prime Minister Narendra Modi‘s expiry date remark over BJP said that, “Nothing will happen on 10th June. BJP will not be able to win in Odisha even in the next 10 years. With the blessing from Lord Jagannath and love of the people of Odisha, BJD will form the govt in Odisha for 6th time”
While addressing a public meeting in Odisha’s Bargarh, PM Narendra Modi said, “The government in the state isn’t run by the elected people anymore but it has been outsourced to other people…I have already declared, June 4 is the expiry date of BJD govt.”
Earlier in the day, PM Modi had challenged the Odisha CM Naveen Patnaik to name all the districts of Odisha and their “capitals” without seeing them on the paper. The comments came in as he accused the BJD leader of being “unaware” of the issues of the people.
“Ask ‘Naveen babu’ to name the districts of Odisha and their respective capitals without seeing them on paper. If the CM cannot name the districts of the state, will he know your pain?” he said while addressing a rally in Kandhamal, Odisha.
He further criticised Patnaik of being oblivious to people’s issues saying that “people are angry of Naveen Patnaik because he is not aware of the people’s issues”, further adding, “can you leave you kid’s future up to him?”
