The choice of Draupadi Murmu as the NDA candidate for the post of President of the country is Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s “the best reward” for Odisha, said BJP State president Samir Mohanty here on Wednesday.
He told a news conference that Modi during his eight years of rule has done a lot for Odisha. Modi has been including adequate numbers of Ministers from Odisha in his Ministry. Besides, many Odias are now occupying various other top posts in the country. The Union Government has also accorded due recognition to the Odisha’s Paika Bidroh, Mohanty said.
