Want to know why the BJD’s position with regard to the Narendra Modi-led NDA Government at the Centre is changing, As anticipated, BJD supremo and Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik did not say a word on this important political question while briefing the media after the conclusion of the BJD Parliamentary Party meeting held at his residence here on Saturday.
He reportedly told the MPs that the BJD cannot afford to rub the powerful Modi Government the wrong way and should, instead, take a “positive” stance that would generate goodwill, if not bonhomie with the NDA.As Patnaik apparently chose not to spell this out himself to the media, he assigned the task of presenting the deliberate ambiguous political stance to the two newly appointed spokespersons of the party in Delhi, Baijayant Panda and Kalikesh Singh Deo.
