An interview of Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik during his gym practice taken by NDTV managing editor Sreenivasan Jain has silenced all those who had doubted his fitness.
During the interview, Patnaik blamed BJP national vice-president Baijayant Panda for creating a rumour about his ill health.
Jain mentioned in Tweet about NDTV getting a rare access to Patnaik’s workout routine two days after his fitness video went viral on social media.
Though the interview is yet to be telecast, the news website has already posted a small part of it.
In the interview, the CM is heard saying, “One of our ex-MPs spread the rumour (about my physical ability) for his political gains.”
When asked whether he is referring to Baijayant Panda, Naveen said, “I am.”
Why do you believe that he would spread such rumours, asked Jain, to which Patnaik repled, “I think for his own personal, political ambitions.”
