leader of Opposition Narasingha Mishra on Tuesday told the State Assembly that the Congress legislature Party would meet President Pranab Mukherjee and seek his intervention for protection of Odisha’s interest over Mahanadi water.
“The whole House had agreed for a united fight. But the Chief Minister decided to fight alone. As the State’s interest is involved, the Congress will not sit silent. The Congress legislature Party will meet the President and seek his intervention,” said Mishra.
Meanwhile, the BJP said it has no problem to seek the President’s support on the Issue. “If an all-party team will go to the President, there is no problem for the BJP to be part of it,” said BJP legislature Party leader KV Singh Deo.
