After Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik launched the BJD poll campaign from Nayagarh on Sunday asserting that the party would make a clean sweep of all the 21 Lok Sabha seats in the State, Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan in his reaction also claimed that the BJP would also win all the 21 Lok Sabha seats.
Pradhan said, “This will be clear on May 23. The people of Odisha love Prime Minister Narendra Modi and will vote for the BJP.”
In reaction to Patnaik’s statement that no party would win a majority and there would be a hung Parliament, Pradhan said Patnaik is speaking in the lines of the Congress, which doesn’t want a strong and stable Government at the Centre. Besides, Congress ideologue Sam Pitroda is also the advisor of Patnaik, he said.
PCC president Niranjan Patnaik said, “No party will have a majority at the Centre this time resulting in a hung Parliament and Narendra Modi will be ousted.”
