Adding momentum to the saffron surge in the recent panchayat elections in the State, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday said the BJP would emerge as the leading political force in Odisha.
Union Minister Nitin Gadkari, who briefed the media about the Prime Minister’s speech at the party national executive meeting here, said the PM was strongly of the view that the BJP would be a powerful force in Odisha and would set an example to the party units in other parts of the country.
“Prime Minister Narendra Modi is very hopeful about the BJP in Odisha. He strongly believes that the BJP would be an ultimate political force in Odisha, where it experienced a spectacular performance in the panchayat elections,” said Gadkari, quoting Modi.
Modi thanked BJP State leaders and workers for making huge arrangements for holding the party’s national executive meeting and cooperating for its success.
